Hello,
I’m looking for some advice.
My girlfriend has a guild x160 savoy in blond from the early 90s.
It’s a great guitar to play. Slightly shorter scale which really suits me, feels great and sounds good acoustically.
Unfortunately the electric sound is thin and lacking low end which is a real shame for this guitar which I feel has a lot of potential.
It has the guild mini humbuckers I believe which are a well renowned pickup. So my question to you experts is what could be causing this thin sound?
Could the pickups be bad or is the anything else in the electronics which might cause this? Are there any capacitors which might need replacing or worn out pots?
I’m living in a German backwater and wouldn’t know where to find a decent guitar tech here who would understand me so I’d like to try to tackle the problem myself.
Very grateful for any advice.
Thanks.
