Hello friends,
I play three 1960s Guild jazz guitars which I have upgraded with custom electronics. They perform beautifully on tour and I’m considering adding a vintage Guild amp.
I’m reading pretty bad reviews of the Model series. My take away is that they work at home at low volume as practice amplifiers.
I read GAD‘s review of the Model Four. Does anyone know if the Model Three has such inadequate electronics? Was it actually made by Guild or was it a cheap amp slapped with a Guild logo?
Here’s what I am considering the Model Three for.
I want to mod it so it can also be used as an 8 ohm speaker cabinet as an extension for my ZT Amplifiers Jazz Club. I still need to use the Model Three as a combo amp as well at at home.
I would have a Jensen C15N (or similar) speaker installed.
I need it for stage performance which can get loud with our guitar, organ, two horns, congas, and drums format. I am playing my 1966 T100 and my tone is straight ahead jazz, clean and loud (think Grant Green).
I like the idea of the Model Three for this purpose because it is vintage Guild and the 15” speaker format would match nicely with my Jazz Club’s 12”.
Do you think I’m wasting my time with a Model Three or can this mod I am envisioning work?
Thanks for the help and happy holidays to all!
