Mid-1960s "frequency tested" single coil dimensions?

[Smiert Spionam]

Do any of you happen to have the physical dimensions of the "frequency tested" single coils that appear on some of the lower end Guilds in the mid-'60s? These show up on T-100s, S-50/S-100, M-65, etc., in between the Franz era and the smaller "Mickey Mouse" single coils.

Are these physically the same size as the 1960s anti-hum? And is the pickup surround the same size, both in terms of the pickup cut-out and the mounting holes in the top?

Any corroborating info would be appreciated.

Like this (this one has the fully chromed cover, but earlier ones have plastic tops):

Guild T-100-D Slim Jim P90 1964 - Sunburst | Reverb

Guild T-100 "Slim Jim" from 1964. In good condition. Body and headstock have expected scratches and dings, some finish loss on back from buckle rash and some finish loss back of the headstock. 1964 was only year for the chromed metal pickup cover, all other years have white plastic covers....

^not sure about that Reverb write up "64 was the only year w. chromed metal pickup cover....." That's exactly what my 66 T100-d has.

i always thought a T-100D had two pickups.
and is that a nasty headstock repair? or just a reflection?

def would like to know the pickup ring dimensions.
i always wondered if a dearmond would cover the hole

The rings are different but the dimensions?

Yes, that listing has some clear errors — I just grabbed it as an example, not as something I’m interested in.

They are close, but not the same. The Frequency Tested is approximately 2.9 x 1.2 inches and the Anti-Hum is 2.8 x 1.3 inches. I have no idea about depth, just length and width.

Good info -- thanks!

Do you think the top mounting holes in the rings line up?

Do you think the top mounting holes in the rings line up?

No, they are off by about 0.1 inches in both directions.

how about dearmond holes? do either line up with them?

It does have 2 pups. And when I got it, it came in two pieces, the guitar…and the headstock, but not to toot my own horn, but this repair I did 25 yrs ago is about as good as it gets. I’ve had people literally stare at it, and they can’t see it, unless I point out exactly where.
What I think you were seeing from the front was the abrupt line of the generic truss rod cover that is much shorter than what should be there and is only held on by one screw.

Ah….gotcha. Lol.

Never mind!

Yep, I’m staring at it and honestly cannot see that repair. Amazing. Did it break that cleanly or did you also recreate the grain pattern?
