Guild has been my archtop of choice pretty much since I had in interest in archtops. Likewise, I settled on G&L guitars as my solid body of choice a long time ago. Recently I had a “what the heck” moment and decided to try a Guild solid body when a Westerly era S-100 reissue fell into my lap. This guitar absolutely floored me. Rather than discuss the details, I’ll defer to GAD’s excellent review of his 1994 reissue and 1997 reissue. The two main things about this guitar are the wide neck and the Duncan SD-1 pickups. The SD-1s sound great in my Starfire II, III, IV and V, but they are amazing in this slab of mahogany.
And the 1976 ad slick was right – this guitar changed my mind about Guild solidbody electrics. I couldn’t be happier and may have to try another model (or two)!
