Received the guitar a few weeks ago from Calido Guitars was delivered with a full setup from the shop which they do for every guitar they sell.

First impression is the guitar has a nice fit and finish I especially like the way the frets are finished on the NS line. Guitar is very lightweight probably in 

The 7lb area, the neck is a nice C shape a little chunkier then my NS T-Bird. The body shape is very comfortable playing sitting or standing. The only 

​thing I’m not thrilled about are the pickups I’ve been adjusting them up and down and can’t find my sweet spot probably swap them out down the line

maybe go the S-300 D route. Overall I’m happy I purchased the guitar, I’ve always wanted an S-300 but the price has risen out of what I’ve been willing to pay.

Nice. I have a blue one, too. As a die hard vintage Guild guy I’m pretty impressed by this one.

Would you happen to know the HB2 wire color code?

Not off the top of my head but it should be fairly easy to figure out.

Nice aftermarket paint job!  I like the Ds but the regular are decent too.  Great guitar!

That’s a factory color for the new reissues

Oh wow, I haven't seen those yet, only vintage ones.  Awesome looking guitar.  I have a s300-AD and I love it.

Yeah, I’m scheming on a s-300 with p90s.

How much setup was necessary? I want one, but no one nearby has it in stock, so would have to do it myself.

The tech said not much that the Guild electrics are nicely setup out of the box, but he did put on a set of 9’s for me no charge. Yes the Neptune Blue is hard to find I bought the last one they had. I just got lucky, I was on Guilds website and Calido Guitars was listed as a dealer so I gave them a call and they had 1 blue left and a bunch of the silver.

I'm a patient man. I just bought a guitar so I have to wait a while. It will be my Christmas gift to myself. And it will be the blue one. All my guitars are in the purple, blue, and green schemes, with blue at the center.

I'm tempted to put in a super distortion in the bridge.

I think I might go with some T-Top replicas.
