Ralf, yes, two wooden saddles.
Thanks! Maybe when you have some minutes later on you could post a picture showing the two saddles, really just curious how they look compared to each other.Ralf, yes, two wooden saddles.
Welcome to LTG! You should ask your shop if they can order a spare Guildsby from the X-175B model, I have a feeling in the US this might be easier than here in Europe.My local guitar shop (local in this case, meaning about 60 miles away) only has the sunburst in stock, and for whatever reason they don't seem to come with the Bigsby.
I have not seen an American Patriarch with the new HB-1 but two limited GSR models so far (GSR X-150D Savoy and GSR X-500D Stuart). So I could imagine maybe Guild will change the S-100 to the HB-1 now. But that's obviously up to the FMIC marketing department.It does appear the HB-1 has been recreated for some of the AP series coming out of NH.
I also have not seen pictures of a real guitar with them but Hans had confirmed they do exist. Also the catalog showed it as you can see here: http://www.letstalkguild.com/ltg/sh...ctric-models&p=1572649&viewfull=1#post1572649Were the mini put in some of the early 1970 model year S-100s? I've never seen a pic of one but that means nothing.
That's all I have as catalog picture (I had posted the link in my above post already):I'd be interested to see a pic of the early S-100 with Mini Hums and Hagstrom vibrato unit.
Would you like to make a more detailed comparison between the NS X175 & M75? (I sure would like you to do that. :excitement: )A sunburst NS X175 arrived today and it sounds fantastic! I hate to say it but it blows away the NS M75 in pure tone delight! Feedback was well controlled at high volume also.
Highly recommended.
