I wanted to pose a question to the S100 enthusiasts at LTG.
Have you guy's ever tried the 1980's M80 and what is your opnion?
I raise this question because I think the 1980's M80 is quite an exceptional solid body yet gets little notice. I have owned S100's in the past and sold them under the opnion the M80 was superior and worth holding on to.
There are a number of differences between these guitars with the most notable the neck (24 fret vs. 22) and the pickups (XR7 vs.Guild or SD's.) I have been considering changing pups on the later M80.
I find the 1980's M80 to be a perfect blend of a SG and LesPaul but with a Guild neck and quality finish.
I am not looking to start a war over this but I am curious what you think. If it turns out you have little experiance with the later M80's then they are worth a serious look.
I would have perfered the M80's to have block fret markers but do like that they don't have neck binding.
As a point of reference the 1980's M80 has little in common with the 1970's M80 other than name.
