FACTOIDS & TRIVIA

Around 1972 Guild equipped the S-100 with a Bigsby and called it the S-100 Deluxe. However, the standard Bigsby B-9 "Guildsby" tailpiece was not meant for solid body guitars.According to Guild expert, Hans Moust, Guild had a local machine shop chop up the B-2 tailpiece so it could be fitted to the S-100. It works rather well and adds a bit a spice to the venerable S-100.
