Take a little stroll down D’Angelico lane. These beauties sound better than they look. :)

What kind of pickups on are that first one? They look like Paul Bigsby pickups.

Fransch pickups (also known as Franz pickups) were used on 50's and early 60's Guild guitars. The Fransch pickup was patented by Charles Schultz (pat # 2911871, filed Sep. 14, 1954, patented Nov.10,1959). Fransch may be a pseudonym for perhaps FRANk SCHultz. Frank Schultz, was an electronics engineer, and owned a transformer, coil, etc., making company in the 50's and early 60's.

@@Mikesarchangels Oh very interesting! I'm quite familiar with Franz (or however they're spelled) pickups, owning two '50s Guilds myself. But I've never seen them with metal covers before. I've only seen them with the plastic-type material. I think I may have found a new Dream Guitar!
