Hi there,
I'd like to start a thread about the differences between Guild humbuckers from the various eras. If I understand correctly, there were at least three different types of humbuckers over the years: the original 'mini-humbuckers' from the 1960s, the larger humbuckers from the 1970s and the later Seymour Duncans.
What are the differences in sound / tone between these pickups? Why did Guild switch to a larger size in the 1970s? What pickups are generally considered to be 'classic'.
Incidentally, I have a SFIV, with the minis, and I think they sound great. A lot more definition than any PAFs I've heard.
Thanks!
