With original case and hang tag!
Saw it priced a bit over half of what they've been selling for on reverb so I "had to".

Off to work now... will give it a good go today back home! :)

These are really cool! This one seems to be in amazing condition, too. Also, the fretboard ebony? It looks really dark in that pic.

Ok today I finally made it to the rehearsal space, first time half of the band "practiced" since the pandemic. Was so so all in all but my highlight was the Guild I took there.

This
Thing
ROARS

DAMN!!! :w00t: :-*

This is gonna be the band guitar. Blown away by it.
Amazing buy it was.

Glad to hear you're loving it. I was unaware of what this model was for years, until I read a Soundgarden interview.
I used to call these 'Kim's ugly Guild'. He is known for the Polara, but he used S300s on a bunch of Down on the Upside tracks and the subsequent tour.

Wow I didn't know that!
Well it is basically the same thing - minus the shape and DiMarzios ;D
