As many of you know, I purchased Qvart's 74 s-100 carved last week. I am absolutely floored with how good this guitar is. Very Happy!

Seems like I have been discovering some new licks. Might the shorter scale lenght be due to this? I'm amazed at how sweet she can sound and then, when pushed, scream like a banshee....Did I mention how pleased I am with it!!

Here is the obligatory updated "family photo" (please excuse the non-blood relatives)

Thanks again to all who steered me down the path towards the s-100!!!

I'd like to spend some time with a short scale too....I guess putting a capo on the second fret gives you that feeling....by the way the 1st picture was unexpected....almost poke my eye out....great looking axe.... Steffan

Actually, I'm glad you posted such a large picture. Now I can rest easier knowing the finish checking didn't get worse during shipping!

I'm glad you dig it. It's amazing what you get for your money with these vintage Guild electrics. I don't know about you, but when I first picked up a vintage S-100 (this '74, by the way) I just knew it was my guitar. Like it was made for me. But alas, I let this one go and will console myself with...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Anyway, it's good to know it made it there safe and sound and you are happy with it. Now go play the $hit out of it!!!!!!!!!!!


(One more thing........you might need to tweak the truss rod a tad. I didn't adjust it after switching from D-tuning back to E. So if you notice some buzzing or feel like the notes are out of whack a bit, that's why.)

Thanks Q, I AM playing the crap out of it. Once of the things I was impressed with was that the action was pretty low and no buzz on any frets. I will leave well enough alone and not mess with the truss rod.
