Page 1 of this thread has both mine and Zelko's specs. Mine is slightly hotter than his.
Steve, the specs I had on the 2nd page were actually from my Franz equipped guitars.Page 1 of this thread has both mine and Zelko's specs. Mine is slightly hotter than his.
On my 1967 Starfire IV the neck p/up has 6.55kohms and the bridge has 6.79kohms. With a second ohmmeter I measured about 1 year ago 6.7 neck and 6.95 bridge. Anyway, bridge always a bit hoter (as it should be). Both done with digital meters, not sure why after 12 month the values are less. Measured on the pickups alone in both cases, not connected to the harness.So, it seems, the pickups from the originals were wound about evenly.
Page 8? That's what I get for not having a metric browser!Steve, the specs I had on the 2nd page were actually from my Franz equipped guitars.
My '66 Starfire V mini-hums measure 7.20k each (in the guitar, so actual would be a few per cent higher). As per my post on page 8, I reckon ideally the pickup winds should be slightly different for best balance between neck & bridge.
Olá at LTG! Actually the Newark St. line (as well as the GAD line) of instruments were never out of production during the transfer, so they should be available as normal. It's just that the ownership changed from FMIC to CMG, so maybe in future they will be available from different dealers/shops, but I don't think there was any change in the factory for the Guild Newark St. and GAD line. What is changing is the factory location of the US made Guilds from New Hartford/CT to Oxnard/CA. But that has nothing to do with the Newark St. line.Any idea when Cordoba will make these available again?
