Replacement pickups for a T100d

[Default]

Try these ones:

That is standard humbucker size, you'll have to cut up the top. Original Guild pickups are not Gibson sized, so, once you route out the top, they lose any value and become commodity guitars. Surface mount pickups and FilterTrons can sometimes work. Some of the DeArmond pickups have close to the pickup ring spacing, and English mount Filtertrons will fit in in the stock pickup rings, iirc.

To get a replacement that properly fits, you have to go talk to a boutique pickup winder.

Hi everybody.

I have a junkyard dog of a T100d that someone did a hideous refin. So bad it’s good that I bought used for a song. Still plays ok and looks like a great blues axe.

It’s a 1964 and I’m not crazy about the twangy single coils and thinking about putting some mini-humbuckers to play jazz with it. It’s way too bright and I want to darken the tone for a good amount. Has anyone done this? Probably will need to redo all the wiring to 500k pots. I’m sure the guitar isn’t worth anything but looking for tips/advice. Still very resonant and plays ok.

Thoughts?
Thanks

What's the serial number? Looking for my old one.

I would not enlarge the pickup routes on that guitar. I personally wouldn't replace the pickups either, but definitely I would not cut it up. Just buy or trade for a Starfire or CE-100-D, if you want humbuckers. or try a different amp

The pickup coils are of quite low resistance. Get the bridge pickup wound up to 8,9kOhm and the neck pickup up to 6,9KOhm. Doing that you will have quite good P90s. And may be replace the ceramic magnets to Alnicos.
