Well, i just impulse bought this on ebay. The front looks like a latter period hb1, but I'm unclear on when they switched to different styles in the 80s and 90s.

After buying it, i realized the seller uploaded a pic of the back.

The back looks unlike any HB1 that I've seen, but still says guild.

What say you, smart folks of LTG?

It's a Fender made pickup for Guild, late 90ties.

Son of a gun, you're right! Thanks so much for the info.

Bummed I didn't recognize that it wasn't 70s-80s material.

Here's a picture of the bottom side of a pair of original 70's HB-1 pickups:
