Guild S-60

What do we have here?
Who hit the stash of pot again?

Well it's a Guild S-60, a model screaming (a bit too loud) for attention.

According to the webs, around 1977 Guild introduced a new guitar shape which was used on the S-60, S-65, S-70, S-300...
This S-60 was the entry level model, and came either with one humbucker or two single-coils.
So, in a way, it was Guild's Les Paul Junior...

Looks like the original brainstorming was: "Round. Curvy. You know, a bit like that Ovation Breadwinner/Deacon... but more manly."

Seems that the era was obsessed with melting guitar bodies. That all ended in the eighties, of course, when guitars got all pointy.

What does it sound like? Ask Mark Agnesi.

And Mark is right: the neck joint is gorgeous.

Come to think of if, maybe Prince would have played that one.
If it came in purple...
