A brand new black S-60 was my first 'decent' guitar, back in 1978. I loved the shape of it then, and still do. It's the guitar I gigged the most, and the only guitar that's stayed with me all these years. Next year I'm thinking of getting a refret - it desperately needs one - and I might restore it's original pickup at the same time. Way back I swapped it out for a SD Invader (I was young, I had to learn the hard way that what I really needed was a new amp!). Nonetheless, I've always liked the tone - it has a sort of 'throaty' quality that's quite distinctive. Still, I might even try something different & give it a new character... Plenty of time to decide.
Really enjoyed reading the review. As far as the knobs go, I remember Guild ads always seemed to show the Guild shield knobs, whereas mine came with plain reflector tops, and pointers, but no numbers. I swapped them for speed knobs for many years, but kept the originals and recently swapped them back. Considering the short lifespan of the model, it's interesting to see the reviewed S-60 had another variation, with tone/volume lettering & numbers.
