Excellent pickups; hard to keep in tune.

Korean copy of the classic Guild S-100. On the good side, the pick ups are simply awesome. USA made DeArmonds with lots of bottom end and able to provide great rock tones. This does not sound as punchy as an SG. The body is thicker so it is slightly warmer than the Gibson model. The knobs, in spite of being Korean made, clean up the drive quite well, not becoming dark and muddy when rolling down the volume. On the downside; the body was a two piece and in the one I had it was very easy to see the union as the grain was not matching at all. It was natural color, so that shouldn't be a problem if you find a color model. The worse thing of the one I owned was that it was really hard to keep in tune no matter how you would adjust it. I do not known if it was because the neck union, the 22 frets or because the wood might not have been well dried but it got out of tune with any bending even using 11-56 gauge. It was quite beautiful, sounded really good, but was hard to use in live situations. That's why I had to let it go.
