Guild S-200 T-Bird Burst

So weird you're gonna love it

Out of 6 guitars I own, this one has definitely the most character. Not only visually, but also tonally. It's very distinct and versatile. Great for blues and rock in general, but be aware of its vintage and unique character.

Build quality is great (made in Korea), the guitar is simply flawless, the frets are nice and smooth. The neck pickup is really dark and hot, the bridge pickup can get quite jangly and bright, but somewhat weaker. It takes some time to balance them and to find the sweet spot. Sustain is really good, attack and articulation are surprisingly good for this kind of guitar.

It is a very inspiring instrument. You can also get some psychodelic tones out of it. I believe this is due to the vintage tremolo and its distance from the bridge - with enough gain, right settings and some practice, you may hear some crazy noises. People complain about tremolo not holding the tune well enough - this is only true in the floating position. Once you set the tremolo low, the guitar stays in tune just fine. The tuners are open and vintage, but they do their job.

If you are looking for something unique, this axe is for you.

Fantastic Guitar

Build quality is excellent

Sound is somewhat bassy, but can easily be modified with the low-cut filter and modeselector.

Only negative is the Hagström temolobridge. It's not exceptional at keeping tune and can come very loose if you store the guitar with the arm on, and when changing strings. You'll need to be aware of those things when using it.

The trem cannot make big, wavy trem - like a Supro or a bigsby, but that's just the way it is.

All-in-all a very versatile, good sounding, hard rocking guitar.
