70's I assume - they used bloody heavy ash back then.

G&L F100.

Fab.

Dammit! Keep it quiet, mate.

I'm (quietly but relentlessly) amassing a collection of Guild solidbodies from the '70s.

Wait, forget I said any of this.

JAG-STANGS! YES!

I have one of these. I like it, although I believe it is the worst guitar design on earth. Plays like a dog.

Also, a Selmer Futurama. I bet none of you have one of them!

Mine is the one on the bottom right:

These guitars aren't very esoteric, but used hecho en Mexico strats of recent manufacture are a good deal. I played two yesterday that sounded great. One was priced at $120 and the other was $200. The Mexican Buddy Guy sig strat is very nice.

Seriously!

I have two S-300s and will likely get more (other types) of this era. I didnt paid more than 100 bucks for either of them.

Sadly, this trend won't continue if you mouth off like this. So mum's the word. Got it?

The S-100s have already gone up in price. I think someone in some doom band played one or something. Dammit.

Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) played S-100s exclusively. Guild actually started making them again because of him. I think this accounts for their comparative priciness.

Fucker.

I used to have a Guild SG.
Probably the best guitar I've ever played.
Don't forget those old Ovations like the Breadwinner.

i have a yamaha sgv 800 guitar black glitter. sounds good plays pretty well i dont even use the trem so it isnt an issue with me. ill be selling it soon! any takers? c'mon!

Ovation has made some completely ridiculous and nearly unplayable instruments. I give you:

The Preacher
The Breadwinner

As far as I can tell, only the very small (like myself and Chris Knox) can play the Breadwinner effectively. If only they made a proper lefthanded one that I could find! Playing this upside down is pretty impossible whilst sitting down.

why don't more people use these?
