S-100s in action

[Hammer]

Sorry to 'burst your bubble, Hammer, but it's the reflection off the studio lights. See the (Soundgarden on Conan) post.

Excellent reissue S-100, probos, and way to put it to the best possible use -- on stage!

Just checked it out and, sorry, but that thing looks green to me! :wink: All the green lights were behind him and, I gotta think if they had been in front or reflecting in some way, the pickguard and headstock wouldn't be pitch black. Watch the Hunted Down vid full screen again. :mrgreen:

 

[Thunderface]

Yeah, but shortly after the 17-second mark you get a shot again and it looks black as midnight. Now I could be wrong, and I usually am (just ask my wife. :? :lol, but I'm thinking it's still the stage lighting that's making the guitar look green. I have to admit, it sure does look green at times.

And for the sake of argument, let's say that Mr. Thayil does have a green S-100. Does that them make him as cool as you or you as cool as him? Or do you just share the title of Coolest of the Cool Kids?

 

[Hammer]

Oh, I know he has one. It's in the Black Hole Sun video and I watched him play one on stage in VA in 94.

 

[Thunderface]

So maybe I am wrong.

Oh, he has a greenie. And an natie and a blackie. We didn't get a whitie at the show I saw.

 

[Hammer]

The only green one I have ever seen (that I recall, at least) aside from mine and Thayil's is the Custom/Deluxe one that was floating around CL for a bit. IIRC there was some debate as to if the Guildsby and finish were authentic on that one though.

Guildzilla had a green one for awhile but sold it. The deluxe I think was original. A special order maybe, or the vibrato may have been added. The green looked right though.

No maybes about it. I was wrong. I was so totally wrong. I was wrong in my wrongness. Wrongfully. That's just ... wrong!

Okay, he's not an LTG member, so technically he cannot be included in the S-100 Owner's Roster, but wouldn't having four S-100s quality Mr. Thayil for honorary "Cool Kid Status?" If we got ahold of his management group and somehow managed to get serial numbers to autheticate what years his S-100s are, maybe then we could add him to the list? :wink:

I would love to know his complete gear breakdown. There are some pieces here and there about amps, effects and whatnot, but nothing more specific about his guits.

I finally got to get my S-100 out on the stage. Whew, I was getting withdrawals from not playing live. This was our first performance and my first time being a frontman.

Looks great, Jeff. That is the beauty of a natural S-100 is that it shows up on stage, no matter what the lighting or what the guitarist is wearing.
