Identify these pickups, T-100D

Since I just bought a T-100, I probably won't buy this, but I am curious about the pickups. In a 1964 model, I expected to see the Guild "Mickey Mouse" pickups. If this were a, say, 1960 or so model, I would probably not thought too much about it; they seem to look like older pickups. Your thoughts?

Never heard these ones, but they're correct.

These PuPs are Guild mini "soapbar" models. They were common on early Polara S100 and Jetstar S50. The Guild Mickey Mouse PuPs started to show up in 1965.

The mini soapbar PuPs came with either a plastic white top or a chrome metal top. I think the plastic top version was the earlier models.

They are a good sounding pickup and many people describe them as P-90 ish. They are not a bright pickup but have strong low end and mid band tone. I have often thought of mating one up with a Mickey Mouse pickup to see how the tone balances; might be a good complement.
