Thanks to everyone who is praising my new addition to the herd. Despite some negative opinions expressed on LTG concerning the humbucker pickup, I have to counter with I think Guild used the pickup in order to give the guitar a new sound, one that was a bit more modern in timbre. Not that I don't like the single coil Rhythm Chief pup. The 1100 is more authentically picks up the woody sound of the carved AA top. The humbucker goes well with the 12-52 strings.This set also brings out the acoustic capability of the AA. When I get a chance, I'll make a recording and upload it to SoundCloud.
