[R] T-250 Not Roy Buchanan

I am one of those apparently rare guitarists who doesn’t like Telecasters. Don’t get me wrong – I appreciate their tone and I understand their place in the history of music as we know it, but every time I play one I walk away thinking that it has to be about the least ergonomically designed guitars on the planet.

Being a Guild collector, though, when a Guild T250 guitar came up for sale I had to buy it to see if my favorite guitar brand could somehow change my mind about the venerable Telecaster. Let’s take a look at this relatively uncommon Guild electric guitar.

[R] Newark St. S200 T-Bird

The first guitar review I wrote for this blog was back in 2014 when I wrote up a 1965 Guild S200 Thunderbird. That post started a trend of me writing about Guilds with almost 30 guitars reviewed along with a pile of other articles, all of which you can see at GADsGuilds.com.

When Guild reissued the Guild S200 Thunderbird T-Bird, hits to that page soared and one of the most common requests I get ever since is, “When will you review the Newark Street Thunderbird T-bird?” Click the guitar to see the review.

[R] S100 Polara (1994)

[1994 Guild S100 Polara]

This is my 30th review of Guild electric guitars. It’s my 31st article about guitars on this page, but one of them is a Burnside Lance which doesn’t really count.

To celebrate the milestone of 30 reviews, I decided that it was time to review this black beauty, the 1994 Guild S100 Polara. Sure, it looks like another S100 (the third I’ve reviewed, in fact), but this guitar is really something special as you’ll see when you read the article.
