Bluesbird pickup mounting rings

[Bart82]

Hello everyone. My name is Bart.
I trying to find exactly the same pickup mounting rings as on my Iced Tea Burst Bluesbird.
Does any one know where to find them?
I am from Poland. In here I bought a couple ones but each one has a different color (darker or lighter, more or less yellow or orange).

I will be very grateful for any help.
Many Thanks
Bart

Welcome! Some additional details (year of production, etc.) and photos would help. Are you looking to replace just one and have it match the other pickup ring? If so, and you can’t find a perfect match, just replace both with a matching set.

What year is your Bluesbird?

 

[Bart82]

Good question. How can I find it?
I only know the serial number? This one on the back of the headstock. It is KWM1600595

That is a 2016 made Newark St. Bluesbird, KWM means she was made in Korea at World Musical Instruments Co. Ltd.

Bluesbird Iced Tea Burst (DISCONTINUED) | Guild Guitars

With its solid and slightly offset mahogany body, the new S-100 Polara™ evokes its esteemed and hard-rocking predecessor of more than 40 years ago.

Guild has not sold those cream colored rings as the pickups are Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N and JB SH-4, so the rings are for SD pickups and generic rings.

@GAD: Needs to be merged.

Done

Who is the manufacturer of these cream frames?
Does Gibson Mounting Ring PRPR-025 will fit?

 

[GAD]

Any generic pickup mounting ring should fit. They are a standard size on that guitar.

Who is the manufacturer of these cream frames?

Those parts on the Newark St. guitars are usually from some Asian manufacturers and it is impossible to find out. Guild would most probably not tell you because the sourcing is done by the company in Korea.

That's a pity. Maybe someone on this forum would like to sell these frames? I need that higher one.

For $7 I’d try generic ones like these:

Thanks GAD. But I think these ones are not the same as on the Guild. They are too orange I think.
It will be hard road to match these frame to the original ones.

You're only looking at pictures on websites. Often colours are a bit different than in reality. Keep that in mind...
