David on 05/15/2013	For all who commented on the amp..you are absolutely correct! I just got my new x-175b yesterday and these things are amazing! Guild has hit a homerun Grand slam with the Newark Street models!
jay on 02/01/2013	The S-100 is not an EXACT copy. The past useless phase switch is gone, and Mine had a chrome switch tip from the factory. I had one basically just like the one demoed, but a 73. Man, I would have used more than a crappy farty amp to do these demos...
Titus Vorenus on 01/29/2013	I've always really liked Guild electrics. I have a '73 S-90, a '74 S-100, and a late 90's S-100 reissue. Awesome guitars! Great pick ups. Too bad these ones sound so crappy in this video. That amp is simply not a good choice to demonstrate these guitars.
RMosack on 01/29/2013	Agree with the first few comments. The guitars look cool, but they really should be played through a classic clean amp for such a demo (e.g. a Deluxe Reverb maybe).
BILL ROBINSON on 01/28/2013	Had a s100 polara YEARS AGO(15 or more),had to sell it what a HUGE mistake! Can't wait to get my hands on a new one! Composerbill@gmail.com
ben on 01/28/2013	late 60's not !! 64 or so i think for giuld humbuckers...
Amazes on 01/28/2013	Just checked their site - guessing Korean made (??) by pricing (similar to Gretsch numbers). Should go USA production, stop the greedy, overpriced domestic trends.

geovox on 01/27/2013	Sounds like he's goin through a mastotron fuzz
king-stumble on 01/27/2013	I'm a big fan of Guild guitars(I have a Bluesbird) but I have to agree with quonsar.The demo of the S-100 and the Starfire does Guild no favours at all.I shall reserve judgement till I hear them thro' a decent sounding amp.
Karl on 01/26/2013	P-G you guys are doing great this is the next best thing to being at Namm
