Guild S 70

Here I am bored trs!
Because, in fact, I have a S 60 D, the same, but with (originally) 2 Di Marzio pchus lach me that a year ago. They have been replaced since by Di Marzio FAST TRACK 2 DP 181 and 182.
Other than that, this guitar dates from the mid 70s. Purchase in 79, Bordeaux francs for 1600. This is the guitar that I learned to play. And I always!
For résumé, with microphones origins, its mahogany body, set neck it's a great REPRESENTATIVES synthse between an SG and a Telecaster.
Rglages the two volumes and a tone tune o matic the bridge, the neck 24 frets, the body's remarkable equilibrated mcaniques: type lespaul junior (trs that take good agreement), make this guitar excellent synthse (RPET I!) styles between Fender and Gibson.

UTILIZATION

The handle whose profile is a race between intermdiaire fender and gibson is a vritable highway.
Access in acute (24 frets) poses no concern.
The quilibrage (unlike the SG) and weight (3.5 kg) make a guitar handy trs.
With regard to the sound, it is relativemnt slamming, the saturation of the original silent powerful microphones and TRS Dfine well (it is the same with DP 181 and 182). This is a guitar that excels in saturation. In his clear, the sound is relatively sharp and fenderien.

SOUNDS

When I bought it (the age of 17) I played the "RAMONES", the "Dr Feelgood" (wilko johnson PERIOD), in short saturated rock and roll And I have say it is perfect for that.
Now I am more oriented blues-rock and still going thanks her incredible sustain. But slamming the hill a little dry and limits its use in this type of music.
on the other hand, to funk, country, the roch'n'roll 50 ', it is the thunder!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 30 years!
I love this guitar. In the era when I had bought the offer n'tait not as extensive as now. The models and apart amricaines trademarks and brands Japanese, we did not have much choice!
The report quality price poustouflant silent. Currently in "vintage" fashion help, this is MODEL ngoc in 1000 euros!
Evidemmment, I do not regret that choice at all. This GUILD SERIES S XY D (according MODEL: 1 micro double, 2 singles, 3 singles, 2 doubles), with this body shape is so particulire Russianness mconnue! I recommend all guitarists.
In short, an excellent guitar MRIT like YAMAHA SG, to appear in panthon of historical MODELS.

Personally I have a sd of 60 (the same medium without the microphone) and I joined you on many things for the british rock sound is excellent but for the soul and funk, I find it quite close old strats but what is impressive is the sustain for a guitar with single micro bobinage.Le big plus is the stick coating, very comfortable to play, the size suits me very well and has access to your keen we can not simply raise

UTILIZATION

As stated above the handle is a wonder it is varnished and glued to the body is neither too large nor too small (for my hands anyway)

Access to acute is unbeatable!

Level with the bridge pickup has had the versatility of a stratum with much more sustain

Center position for its rhythmic clear is excellent!

Neck position, while the AC amazed me found the sound of old sg sustain and grain is very unbelievable Type 60's 70's with a crunch or distortion and are clear with a bit of reverb you can type plans jazzy

What I really like is this kind of twang sound very 50's quans you attack near the bridge (kind Duanne Eddy or Dick Dale)

SOUNDS

I think I said everything (or almost a little higher)

OVERALL OPINION

6 years
Like any form including its very original
The varnish is very beautiful

Frankly I want a second so I think this guitar suits me at any point
