Hello all, been a while since I have posted here....working my life away!
I treated my self to a late bday present ...at least that is what I told the wife.
I have been on a surf guitar kick lately and have had a hankering for one of those classic 60's lacquered jazzmasters....
I went to GC few weeks ago and tried out the jazzmaster and wasn't overly impressed with the neck and finish on the frets.... I then looked up on the wall and spotted the S-200,pulled it down and played for a bit... I was stoked to see and feel the quality and finish on the frets and the fact that is a neck thru is even better.... $200.00 less than the Fender so it was a no brainer ....besides the fact it was a Guild....
Went back last night and bought the black one, it's been fun learning the switches. I'm diggin the Lil Buckers as they call them....
The only quirks I am finding is when switched to mode 1 neck pup only.... the tone pot works almot like a vol pot....nearly kills volume as you roll it off. The trem arm pivot is real tight, I lubed it and have been working it back and forth to loosen it up......
