Who better to share this with than you guys. I was 20 and pretty much an acoustic player but I definitely wanted an electric. I went in to a local shop with my friend and the usually empty Left Handed section had a very strangely shaped black beast in lefty! After getting the ”Go ahead man” nod from the guy at the counter I picked it up. Not a new guitar but the build quality was so far beyond the guitars I had handled it was crazy! All black, chrome stopbar tail piece that looked like a Razor Blade and a lightning bolt had a baby, 2 aged cream single coils in the neck and middle and a after market seymour duncan hotrails mini HB in the bridge. all mahogany with that long 24 fret slim neck that has a bit of depth. As for neck heel...What neck heel? Where is it?! Someone had obviously gigged and enjoyed it before me but after plugging in and being gobsmacked by the variety of tones I got playing with the phase and bypass switches and the 5way strat style switching I had to buy it! I ripped off a Floyd solo then I paid $450 of my hard earned Canuck dollars for her and I have loved the guitar (Elvira) ever since! It was the electric I learned my first licks on, it can rip blues, rock, I play it clean all the time and it pulls off a mean ”Rain Song”. After trying a bunch of guitar models I realize that for me nothing with ever feel as right as my uniquely shaped relic from the past. I literally just brought my S-70 to a great tech 5 days ago to give it some t.l.c and a friend contacted me and told me he just saw a guitar like mine for sale. I paid a fair sum for this S-300 but it is the same build and materials and I think the same year as my S-70 and it looks to be in amazing shape for a 38yr old lady! Even the paint on these guitars has aged in that cool way that gives it amazing character. I think there are a ton of great guitars out there, but I have a pair of old school Guild USA electrics, one with single coils, one with humbuckers. They are and will forever be my Weapons of choice. Nice to find others that enjoy these music machines.
