This abomination is on its way to me

[CBHScott]

I played one this weekend at Sam Ash. It is a fine guitar, put together quite well, and very lightweight. Pickups are a bit warm, and shine with dirt.

Even limiting the choice to Bo Diddley sigs, I like that even more than this:

I received the guitar today, but I only had about 10 minutes to play it. It's set up perfectly. The pickups sound good. The neck is a 60's C shape. This is a well made guitar that will require no mods. It satisfies my desire for an SG and a Firebird. I plan to keep it.

I had a Starfire IV, which has the same mini-HBs, and there were fine pickups. At $399, it’s awfully tempting.

H needs a Motorhead sticker on his area.
Love from Zenu might help too.

I showed the Guild to my wife yesterday, and she was intrigued...

Bo Didley and a Gretsch employee designed that in '59. The Guild came along in '64.

Gah, that's the one I want. Love those.

It was just too damn big! Even though (at 5'10" and 250) I'm not exactly tiny, it just felt clunky to me. OTOH, the neck and fretwork were wonderful!

Welcome to the Guild.

Looks kinda neat. Reminds me a bit of the dancers from the old Robert Palmer vid. I like the look.

I did have gas for one in the past. I like it.

Was thinking of getting one, but got this abomination headed my way instead.
