Guild s-60 Made in USA in 1978. She does factory 76 81.

Guild humbucker type-2 origin (and not seymour duncan), volume tone.

Mahogany body and neck 1 "3 / 5, rosewood fingerboard.

Thin neck and round, 24 "/ 4, 24 frets, dot inlays and frets super low.

Guild roller bridge type-10.

UTILIZATION

The neck is super enjoyable. It has a `round profile and end (Strait) whom I had to get used (large hands + classical guitar).
Looking back over the handle of my firebird I had the feeling back a classical guitar ...

The frets are super low. Fingers sail like butter ...

Accs nice to treble the 24th box but hey it's not my thing.

To find her, that there ben mics ... and it is good ...

SOUNDS

When empty it sounds very good dj, body reasonably well, very good sustain.

Branch is very rock n roll. The output level is not excessive.
In an orange with a bit of gain it gives a very good crunch. Darker than mini humbucker in the firebird, a bit darker than the humbucker a flying v faded.

It sounds pretty fat to LATEST REFERENCES.
With a fuzz and grants in C or D is a marvel.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several months. Very difficult to obtain in Europe (the one I have is that of Previous Notice). The MODEL I t has returned to original order by me and after a rglage correct with a good luthier is a pure be regulated.

"She is beautiful: if it looks good, it sounds good!
-Lgre (heavier than a Danelectro 59, + - 620 or as a Rickenbaker sg. Bouger playing is not a problem with.
-A sound with a nice rock grain.

nb: there is a version 3 / 4, version 60-d with 2 single DiMarzio, and may be even more.
