I bought this $1,699 RRP beauty, in a solid wooden Guild deluxe case, brand new at a sale price in Canberra on 28th November 2016. I have gigged twice with it (and have been told that it sounds fab) and the Guild HB-1 Alnico II/2 7.10K resistance neck and 7.00K resistance bridge pickups (helped by all four 500K pots) in the solid Mahogany body are incredibly musical, powerful yet sweet, and sustain superbly well. The Alnico 2 pickups have true vintage sounds (much more so than the Alnico V/5s used on most modern guitars). The Rosewood board is brilliantly set up, the intonation excellent, the tuners stable, and even the nut is real bone! I now have to sell this lovely guitar, because a) I have failed three times to sell my Custom Telecaster on eBay, so I am keeping that as one of my new ‘max’ of 8 guitars, and b) the board is just a tad narrow for my extra-long 22cm hand, but would be perfect for anyone with normal or small hands. This is a simply extraordinarily well-made and sounding guitar. The item can be picked up by the winner/buyer from me in Brooklyn, or we can meet in a Northern Suburb of Sydney for a handover with a cash payment. Or I will register, insure and send it anywhere in Australia (in its original carton) via AusPost for $40. Check out my 413 stars and 100% positive feedback on eBay and know I only sell the very best stuff! Guild Newark St. Collection Made in Korea Exactly to Original Guild 50s & 60s Specs: The Brainchild of Mike Lewis of Fender The Guild Newark St. Collection marks the return of classic Guild electric guitars and basses from the 1950s and ’60s and ‘70s - once again putting the distinctive Guild styling and voice that helped shape popular music into the hands of today’s musicians. The Newark St. Collection celebrates some of Guild’s most iconic models, including the hard-rocking solid-body S-100 Polara, the semi-hollow and hollow Starfire guitars and basses, and elegant archtop jazz guitars like the A-150 Savoy and X-175 Manhattan. Features include Guild’s famed Vibrato Tailpiece, stop tail pieces, pinned bridges, authentically voiced vintage-style pickups, and classic hardware designs. With a wide selection of models, Guild has always been the first choice for musicians in need of an instrument that’s made to be played. Guild S-100 Polara Solid body. Guild style from the ’70s is back and better than ever with the return of the solid-body S-100 guitar. With its solid and slightly offset mahogany body, the new S-100 Polara™ evokes its esteemed and hard-rocking predecessor of more than 40 years ago. Responsive and versatile, it also features a distinctive 24 3/4″ scale, rock-solid mahogany neck, and a potent pair of Guild HB-1 pickups. Cherry Red finish. The welcome return of a true Guild classic.
