"I've started getting into Guild's guitars. They make a lot of great stuff. This is the guitar that I always take to my hotel room because it's acoustic but it's very thin and plays like an electric. I've had it for about 15 years. I don't really plug it in, but it can play like an electric," says Josh Homme about the Guild? S4CE-NT Songbird guitar.
