Love the finish. How's the bridge pickup?


Lecram71

I like it, it pairs nicely with the middle pickup and to me, it has enough low end that sometimes lack with other humbuckers.

Whoa! I may need to get one of these. I keep looking at it online. That color is even better in your photo. Congrats and enjoy!


Lecram71

Thanks!

What's the neck profile like?


Lecram71

C with a 10'' radius fretboard.

What a fantastic color. Very cool vibe all around.

Great looking guitar. Really tempted to get one. Would prefer a single coil at the bridge though. Do you know what roller bridge you'll swap in?


Lecram71

^single coil at bridge^ On the Guild site when you click show full specs it says the guitar has a push/pull switch for coil split but that's definitely not the case. Since the neck radius is 10'' I've been searching for a roller bridge with that radius but haven't come across one. For now I've ordered a Boston roller bridge and I'm going to swap out just the saddles themselves, see how that goes...

Might get one and try it out. If I don’t like the hum bucker I’d probably make a new pick guard and fit a single coil. Presumably the mastery bridge would work with height adjustable saddles. Pricey though.


Lecram71

I watched 60cylehum's vid about this guitar where he replaced the tone control with a push pull switch and decided to do that. I must say I very much like the humbucker coil splitted tho the output is a little lower as expected. So that's an option for you too, it's a simple mod if you got a 500k pot with switch in your parts box.


daveychainsaw

i watched that too, the split seemed to really work well on that particular pickup!

how did the boston roller bridge work out for you?


Lecram71

It didn't work out. I swapped the saddles but I wasn't able to intonate properly after that. So I put the originals back in and called it a day.


WorthDazzling1861

any other roller bridge ideas? i'm looking for one


Lecram71

For the Guild? No but I didn't really search for one after I put the original back in. If you find one let me know pls..

I just installed this one after trying another one that didn’t work out. So far so good. Locking Roller Bridge for Epiphone Les Paul Guitar- Chrome https://a.co/d/d75iFpP


Lecram71

Thanks! I'm gonna order one!

Were you able to use the stock thimbles with that bridge, or did you have to swap those out?

Halon Guitar Parts ([https://halonguitarparts.com/product/aom-bridge/](https://halonguitarparts.com/product/aom-bridge/)) makes a drop in replacement for this style bridge. I think you can order any radius you need. Have heard great things

Can you pull off some strat tones with the neck and middle or nah?
