Hi I have a Guild X160 Rockabilly. When I play it, regardless of the switch settings and the tone control, the high E sting is well below half the volume of the A, D, G & B strings, and the low E is almost twice as loud as the A, D, G & B strings . Adjusting pole heights does not change the volume. I tapped the poles under each string and the high E is substantially quieter that all the others, and the low E is VERY loud. So out came the endoscope, and then I pulled the neck pickup to see it clearly. The Pups appear to be similar to the Darmond 2000's in GAD's (Excellent) write up on the X160, except that the wiring is different and appears to have been modified, there are old solder points and maybe glue where the wire anchors would secure the insulated wire. Could it be that the wiring is set up to drop the high E and boost the low E? Whatchatink?
