Judging by your signature, that's not the worst wait in the world! :lol: :lol: :lol:

True, because the M-80 is actually here, while the "Next?" is.........................................................?

Why is it that the latest guitar hasn't even been played yet, and we GASaholics are already thinking, "Next!"

Or, even better: "Next?" was in my signature, I got another Guild, and "Next?" is still in my signature. :lol:




(Of course, there's a subtle hint built into that about what exactly is "Next")

From a purely visual standpoint, I'm thinking a '70s S-100 would look good between the S-50 and S-300, and perhaps an X-82 after the M-80, to cover the pointy-guitar period. Okay, also from a "I wish there was a ..." standpoint as well.

Something like this, perhaps ...

Damn son, you're averaging a Guild a month since you joined. Nice! That's how GAS'ing is done!

Thunderface,

Congrats on the new axe. That electric arsenal of yours continues to grow... 8)

I've actually been averaging at least one guitar a month since December 2008, which is both exciting and obscene at the same time. The Guilds have been the latest and greatest affliction to my disease, and I have been moving others to make these fit into the collection. This one just kind of fell into place, another one of those "will you consider shipping to ...?" questions that resulted in another guitar. Maybe if I stop asking that question, I'll stop winding up with another guitar. :roll:

I'm not so sure about the hot pink DR Extra-Life strings, but otherwise the latest is in very good shape, from the case inward. There's some wear on the front edge (towards the neck) of the bridge pickup, some playing wear on the front and some scratches and buckle rash on the back. I'm liking the Black Sparkle finish, although I have to admit this was rattling around in my head when I considering buying this black sparkle X-82.

There's a lot of cool Guild electrics form the '80's ... I really want a "Black Sparkle" one though to match my X-79's.

Should he find this one Grotworthy, perhaps an arrangement can be reached?

That is pretty badass. The hair metaler in me says \m/ -_- \m/

Even with the pink strings. I guess I'll have to introduce it playing "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister, or maybe "Girls, Girls, Girls" by Motley Crue.

Thanks fab. I'm thinking this is it. But then again, I've thought that before. :roll:

And it's not just the guitars either. I've got Hans' book. I've got the Beesley book and yesterday my decently-priced copy of Michael Wright's "Guitar Stories, Vol. 2" with a chapter on Guild solidbodies, arrived. Guess what, I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Guild!
