Neighbor,
Do you need original ones, or will aftermarket be good enough?

Either, just as long as they fit and have the 3 adjusting screws!

I'd say you need original ones. Also, good to note is the fact that the newer Bluesbirds have a different ring than the 70s version. A standard aftermarket ring will not fit the original holes in the body or the 3-screw tilt adjustment of standard Guild pickups.Canadian Steve said:

Thanks Dane.
Where can he find Guild rings?

Right now I'd say nowhere. I've been looking for a few myself. I've also found that in the mid-70s the size changed as well. There are quite a few pitfalls in finding them.

Could a luthier fashion them from various parts? If so, it'd probably look like caca.

I thought that Rosewood or Ebony would look super neat. I almost resorted to that before I picked up another couple of pickups that had unmolested rings.
