it's all relic'd up proper from me being proper clumsy. plus it's the only thing i have at uni. some cameraphone pictures that look like they were taken on a 70s camera to follow:
check out all them scratches, a few digs from various things falling on it too, mostly mics.
it's like my companion guitar-wise. it's been halfway round the world and back with me (literally).
Over two dozen sweet sounding sondz in this shot alone, and I can't believe how much delight I've indulged in over the past 5 months with sheer tonal additions to the quiver. Picked up a reverse-wound Kent Armstong P90 ($30 straight out of the shop, thanks Mr. Ryu!) for the neck spot of the Emily SG today, and will get it put in after the weekend. The circle is now complete.
Group shot, (left to right) Ibanez AEL10BKLE(i think), Mustang 2,(trashed and used to experiment many different things on) Ibanez GRX20L, Mustang 3, Ibanez(yes I know I own a few of them) Artcore Hollow body (strung with 4 strings tune CGCG), and Mustang 1(bought first).
On the 2nd Ibanez there is a drum stick placed under the strings by the bridge, it gives off a wind chime-ish sound.
Thanks, I love S100s. I've had this one since August 08 and it's definitely my favorite guitar I've owned. Honestly though I can't say I've touched a bad vintage Guild, it seems they're all nice.
The only one I have tried had a repaired headstock that has been snapped off and was going for about £350 ish... still played great... they feel like an old pair of smelly comfy slippers... coming from a guy who can't really play Gibo's. Dare I ask how much you got it for ?

Traded a slightly unoriginal AVRI Jazzmaster for it.

They are nothing special. My mate had a black one off his uncle w/bigsby in the early 90s. He cashed in on the Kim Thayil interest some years later. Not a patch on a decent Gibson or Yamaha imo.
I'd have to disagree. I've played a few vintage S100s and I've not touched a Gibson SG or an SG-alike that I've thought felt better than them. I love their necks and those old Guild humbuckers are amazing. All my personal opinion of course.
Have you played any other than the one your mate had? Perhaps his was a dud.
I think this is what Andy from Hot Rod Circuit played the last couple tours I saw them on, and he always had tuning problems with it. It sounded great but he had to re-tune between every single song.
