Hey gang:
Putting Z-90 pickups in my black M-72 Dearmond has freed up a set of goldtone humbucker, now left to loiter on my workbench. We can't have that. So a plan was hatched. They're off now to a pickup winder on the west coast. David Plummer (AKA Zhangliqun) about whom I've heard so much. He will rewind them into "Pure Handwounds". I told him I wanted something like the old Guild HB-1, and or the post PAF, pre-Ttop p/us in my '66 ES-335. They'll be wired to allow for out of phase middle operation, if desired.
Then into the Dearmond S-73. Those stock Goldtone p/us will stay stock, while the Zhang specials and possibly a phase switch go in. I'm trying to more closely replicate the Guild S-100. The Goldtones have their virtues, but perhaps this worthy low-end guitar can do even better. We will see.
