Check out the all the models at

IMO, the B3 looks to be the most suitable option.....

Actually, it should be a B5 if memory serves me correctly. You'd have to mount the unit to the top of the guitar the same way you would with a Telecaster. The B3 is suitable for "thinline archtops" like the Guild Starfire III or the Gibson ES 137. The B3 has a hinged tailpiece that requires at least an inch and a half of body depth in order to mount it securely. Hope this helps.
