    Sold Sold- Left Handed 1970 S-100

    Yes, your descriptions match my S-100 exactly. I have a demo video of it on my YouTube channel, which I’ve also posted on this forum previously. I’ve not played one with a Guildsby, but I am not a huge Bigsby fan. I do agree that the Tremar is very cool and unique. Hopefully a fellow lefty...

    Sold Sold- Left Handed 1970 S-100

    Thanks! Reluctant to sell it, and maybe some other stuff will sell so I can keep it, but it’s a killer guitar, and is the guitar that got me into vintage guitars, so it’ll always be special to me. And those early HB-1s have some extra muscle to them. Well over 8k and really drive the amp nicely...

    Sold Sold- Left Handed 1970 S-100

    Hello LTG Friends, First of all, this 1970 S-100 was my first Vintage Guitar, and this forum has been extremely valuable in gaining knowledge, and I appreciate all the input I’ve received from folks here. With that said, the time has come for me to sell my lovely Lefty 1970 S-100 with Tremar...

    What Rig are you enjoying lately?

    I must say, Peavey makes some very fine amps and are pretty underrated I think. Last year I saw a trio and the guitar player, Jimmy James, was playing a Delta Blues. It sounded marvelous. From where I was sitting I thought it was an old tv front tweed Pro. Then after the show I walked up to look...

    Wax pot my HB-1 pickups on my 74 S100?

    I cannot say for certain because I’ve never potted a pickup and been able to compare before/after, but my experience is that heavily potted pickups are darker and more controlled sounding. For some, this may be a good thing. The wax fills air gaps and reduces vibrations within the coils. Those...

    Wax pot my HB-1 pickups on my 74 S100?

    Microphonic pickups are a wild thing because they are great until they aren’t. I love my pickups to be a bit microphonic; they let all the nuances come out and the guitar feels much more alive, but the second they cross the line to uncontrollable squealing, they are maddening. My ‘70 S-100 has...

    S-100 ergonomics question

    So, after reading your question, I had to go put on my S-100 to check. I ended up playing it for the last 45 min. What a great guitar. No issues with the balance or tilting the face of the guitar upward. Of course this does have some to do with your own body ergonomics, but I’d say the S-100...

    NGD '71 S-100

    Yep. That’s me! I adore this guitar. It was my first vintage guitar (which sadly began a now terrible obsession). I don’t get much use out of the Hagstrom Tremar, though that’s partly because it’s a righty trem, and thusly the arm originates on the wrong side and sits in an awkward position...

    S100 73 bridge curve

    I believe most early 70’s s100’s were 10” radius. The bridge looks correct. Not sure if those are original frets, but if there’s enough meat on them, a good luthier could level them to the radius of the bridge to make consistent action throughout. If the frets are original, I’d personally have...

    1972 S-100

    Nice one! Those clear pickguard just look soooo cool. What a rad guitar. I prefer the S-100 to the SG also. Coincidentally, I made a video about this very topic:

    Please educate me about the Guild D50

    Thanks! This guitar happened to be local to me and I’m glad I tried it first. That said, all my best guitars have been purchased online without playing them first. A couple even shipped internationally. It’s definitely a risk but I do know that as a lefty, you’re not as likely to get to try...

    Please educate me about the Guild D50

    It’s definitely easy to get swept up in the moment and make decisions you regret in hindsight. Some guitars you can tell are amazing immediately. Others take a bit. My best guitars get better the more I play them. Others I find myself really liking for a bit, and then seeming to drift away from...

    Ruedi, I saw you posted a link to a lefty one of these for sale on reverb recently. I’m glad I’m just now seeing this review or I may have been tempted by that listing…
