Why I like this old S-90

[mad dog]

About as simple and stripped down a guitar as you could ask for. Unusually tasty humbuckers. Here's how the neck p/u sounds:

Nice musings Michael.

And that S-90 sure is purty !

That's the way I like 'em....simple and stripped down. 8)
Sounds great, too!

Thanks,

That's a beautiful, purposeful-looking guitar. I dig its spartan simplicity and direct appeal. Congrats.

Nice blues riffage MD ! Just the right amount of delay and reverb, really makes those HB1`s Shine.
My S-90 is still my Charlton Heston Guitar,(although my S-100 & S-50 are edging closer the more I play them)
probably because it was my first Guild, and also because I`m originally a bassplayer who tries to play guitar
and I prefer the simple approach. Sometimes less is more !

Thank you gentlemen. I had great fun making those clips ... this S-90 is a blast to play. Probably too much delay though, in truth. I had bumped the mix knob, didn't realize it til later.

Hag: What do you mean, your "Charlton Heston" guitar? Great image!

Correct me if I'm wrong, because I often am, but I believe a Charlton Heston guitar is one that you can get when you can pry it out of his cold, dead hands, ala Mr. NRA, Charlton Heston, talking about his guns.

If it looks great, sounds great & feels great, then it is great! That's a fine, fine example of the breed MD. Stripped down goodness indeed.

What Thunderface said. I could not have explained it better.
