Wait till you see the S-200........ :shock:

Why wait?;

I shouldn't have said anything......stop with that! You have no idea how close you were to not getting that one for your museum!

 

[Hammer]

Man, I am not a fan of gold...but that...that is purty.

EXACTLY.

But I'd take it for all the other bling!

 

[Thunderface]

I hate you guys and your gorgeous guitars, and I mean that with all due respect and affection!

Ok that is actually only the second guitar I've seen on this site that I lusted after in my heart and I'm not even a 'lectric guy...

Welcome aforum. My first guitar was a Peavey Patriot. Pretty awesome American guitars for the price. Nice to see the MW representation increase.

Hey, me too! Mine was kind of an oil finished mahogany. Not the coolest looking guitar, but actually played very very well and sounded pretty good. A great beginner's guitar in that it plays well enough not to frustrate you into quitting and, with a decent amp, sounds good enough to play on stage if it ever gets to that point.

As for the S-200... I never knew such a thing existed. I really like the ebony board, extra binging, G-shield guitars and wanted a SF-VI very badly before I found mine. Now I have to wish for something far less attainable. Were it natural finish, I'd be beside myself.

Now, anybody know if they ever made a SF-VI/X-500/F-50/-appointed Starfire XII?

[EDIT]- Also, what's up w/ the pole pieces? Look like big allen screws rather than pan-heads?

 

[BluesDan]

Man....that S200 is certainly drool-worthy!

I almost feel guilty about saying this, but I just picked up another sunburst S-300, this one a 1977 model with Guild humbuckers and the mahogany body and neck, off of Gbase. I did say I had a thing for sunburst guitars, didn't I? They will ship it today and I should have it by next week.

Next is the S-300 A, and the S-300 D bursts. :wink: Nothing to feel bad about there!

 

[Thunderface]

Oh, don't go there. I get myself in enough trouble with justification of G.A.S. purchases without someone else planting seeds in my brain. :wink:

Wow...then are you in the totally wrong place! :lol:

 

[Thunderface]

Isn't that the truth!

:x i'd been trying talk them down in price or into a trade.
congrats all the same, beautiful guitar. my hunt for a sunburst s300 continues...

 

[Thunderface]

Plague,

I'll keep you in mind, should I want to part with one. Sorry to have taken this one out from under you.

 

[plague]

all is fair in GAS and war enjoy

 

[Singin' Dave]

Thunder,

Gorgeous bursts there w/ very nice grain! Here's my warhorse S-300-D, a black '77 w/ guard. Great guitar, but I'm seriously thinking about swapping in HB1s as the stock DiMs are a bit dark for my tastes.

 

[Thunderface]

Thanks, S-D.

I will be interested to hear what the Guild pickups sound like compared to the DiMarzios in my S300A-D. I would imagine the Guild/mahogany combination of the S-300 will make a nice contrast to the DiMarzios/ash combination. Looking forward to hearing the differences.
