Good Guitar with Issues

This is a good guitar that with a few changes can be a very good guitar.

It has tuning issues because of the nut and Bigsby. I changed the nut to bone and put a roller bridge on mine and it holds tune now.

It plays well and the pickups are the best part of this guitar. They can give a wide range of tone from clean to classic rock. There is no humm from them that I have found. The pots are good but could be better.

This guitar is heavy. If you play a long time it will let you know. It seems to be balanced toward the bigsby.

It is really worth the time to own because of the tone. If you can get one, you should.

Guitarra incrível.

What a magnificent surprise. I've always loved Guild and all its series of guitars. But this one impressed me. Robust guitar, deep, vintage, wonderful finish... Simply surreal.
