Okay this is only the second Guild electric I have ever owned and the first solid body / chambered. My other one was a NS Series SF 4 with Stop tail. Very different guitars. I am loving the s-300. The thing about the SF4 that I miss most are the pickups. Well now I have those pickups on an extremely comfortable body shape and an ebony fret board.. I picked it up off of Reverb for a nice swipe below $1k. There are some party gouges so that would explain the seller's willingness to meet my number.
Something about the shape of these and the S60, S65, and S70 that really just speaks to me.
It came with a couple of goofy stickers on it hiding some of the gouges.. Not sure why.. Either way, pulled those off and got rid of the gunk. I am not a photographer, but here are some shots of her.
Not sure whether or not those knobs are legit. Every other one I have seen has the "G" knobs. This one is rocking an LP vibe with these.
So I returned an impulse buy ( Gibson 60's tribute LP with 90's - frets were apparently filed down using a broken beer bottle ) in order to fund this.. And let's just say I am glad I did. This thing has all of the sustain and roar of an LP with the comfort of a fender. At least I find fenders to be very comfy. The neck profile is perfection. The HB's are spot on. Just the right amount of oomph. I am not a metal / hard rock guy so these provide the perfect amount of testicular horsepower for my mix of roots rock / alternative / alt-country / rockabilly / cow punk. At least to my ears they do. She is a keeper.
