Good video Chris! Just picked up the hss for $249 used. Couldn’t be happier!!

[@rexrathtar3893]

I like the cut of Guild's jib. Great value, tries to plough its own furrow, looks good, sounds even better. Hope it does well for them.

[@michaelogden5093]

That demo was cool. The guitar passed the test of what I like to listen to. Nice color too.

[@brianode11]

Cooper could make a 1-string canjo sound great! 👍

[@JoshuaC923]

💯%

[@michaeltucker5977]

Thank you, this review drove my decision to pick up an HH version to add to my Pacifica & Revstar :)

[@grene1955]

Awesome tones, and as usual, great playing from Cooper!

[@frankmitman3347]

Great playing as always, Cooper. This guitar punches above its weight. Sounds much more expensive than it is.

[@drothberg3]

Loved the tone with both pickups.

[@FilmFlam]

I get that you guys are pushing product, but you also push information. And that's why I keep coming back. Thank you Cooper and Chris.

[@DDuMond1]

Fun episode, nice job guys! I thought the Surfliner looked and sounded good, and Cooper was awesome!

[@ItsyaboyDT23]

Very cool, may be my first guitar purchase!

[@Phil-Grocholl]

It kind of has some baritone like tones, and I like it. I've been liking the stuff Guild has been putting out lately. I've been considering a X-175 Manhattan Special, but this is cool too.

[@RobertHamm]

Awesome. Very excited for this.

[@ChadwickRider]

I have one of these on the way... btw, killer demo, fantastic playing

[@JamesMartinBass]

This looks like a great guitar for anyone looking for an affordable HH guitar with some Jazzmaster vibes. I see these are on sale now. Very tempting.

[@dannoall8427]

Yeah, I took the bait and bought one. Needed a set-up pretty badly, but once that was dialed in this thing kicks. I can't stop playing it. Surprisingly great tones from these pups.

[@PaulGAckerman]

Y'all make it sound like you need the sorting hat before deciding which new Guild to buy. Great video as always!

[@jdmac44]

Same issue with the switches on the Jazzmaster. But thanks for pointing that out!

[@yayayaokoksure]

It looks great

[@prophet8photo]

This is a pretty cool looking guitar. Does it come in additional colors? I don’t know because that’s one thing you need to add to your videos. Also, you should definitely make sure that you cover the next shape. I watch the Alamo videos for the tone and play through but now Ive got to watch another video for color options and neck shapes.

[@qwe1231]

I read on a guitar site that these were manufactured in Indonesia.

[@TaylorLansdale]

Had me at the bridge pickup. Between this and the M-20, I’m quickly becoming a Guild guy.

[@davidmay3348]

As far as im concerned we have a homerun hit here!! yeah sweet axe1

[@johnwashburn3793]

Chris, I think that it may be "hair line missed"...not that I miss mine too often.

[@rolstonlarge2808]

I liked the sound of that electric guild guitar. When they were talking about that guitar & it didnt say where it was made, i have a 52 year old Dana electric that also didnt say where it was made.

[@chrisstephens6194]

Indonesia I think

[@clevertrevor7360]

I like that it doesn't say where it's manufactured. If it's good, it's irrelevant.

[@FrKyleSanders]

It might be what he was playing, but it has instant Stephen Stills tones.

[@circedge]

That does sound nice, and unique. Shame about the gargantuan body.

[@ue4058]

People seem to perceive them as such, but they're not big. The body is the same size as a Jazzmaster.

[@user-xd7rc9mj3x]

Nice Yamaha (Yamaha owns Cordoba/Guild).

[@bathizargupta249]

Just got one new for $255. Liking it but the pickups don't sound nearly as good as in this video. Stock strings. Playing through a Boss Katana MKII.

[@jacobmerritt4921]

Playing through a Katana may be the reason for the sound not being as good.

[@gregmacklin9758]

I agree, I'm not a fan of Katonah

[@cgcarreno]

Where???

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Perfect guitar for some western outlaw riffs

[@johnhawkins8205]

It’s made in Indonesia

[@Luis-en6lw]

SSH

[@elcanoa]

hi guys, is made in indonesia

[@johnwashburn3793]

It was not 'built it was created.

[@roberttosa2560]

Those pup switches are a deal breaker..

[@nealixd.3011]

23 frets, interesting.........

[@chrisstephens6194]

£240 on reverb atm.bargain

[@frankmitman3347]

I thought it was mandatory to notify the buyer where an item is made. Strange.

[@MitchMichelleOfficial]

Snake jazz lol

[@jaymelynnmcintyre8574]

Hipster?? Really , lol not even 😂

[@mctribble]

No weight, no like.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Every Guild I’ve ever picked up had some sort of magic going on…there’s a reason Tom Petty and others used them a ton
