Vintage Guild S-series

[surfin_bird]

So I had the Gibson bug lately. Never was really interested, it was fender all the way for me (and vintage Yamaha's).
But my music taste has changed a bit, and I'm more into the stuff again I was once into when my love for music started. I guess just more of the
60's & 70's garage rock, surf, swamp-blues.

So now I'm gassing for a walnut coloured humbucking 70's beast that screams long hair, no showers, tractorpulling and beer throwing.

I had my eyes on a The Sg or a The Paul but while searching the web my eye fell for a Guild nature boy and a S200.
I'm just wondering what to expect with these guitars. I saw a lot of complaints about that the necks are strange, but what is strange?

I'm just looking for opinions, experiences and photos.

I'm not experienced with the S200 first hand, but the S100/S90 guitars I've played have been great. (And Soundgarden-approved if that matters). I really like the Guild pickups (as in Starfires, etc).
The vintage S200 has a built in stand (!).

I have had a couple of Guild guitars they are great.
The Guild HB-1 Humbuckers sound really good.
I haven't owned an S200,but I have had some other Guilds which were all great playing / sounding.

Thanks for all the replies.
I just found out the Guild S-100 I found online has non original pickups.
So I'll keep my eyes out for the future. They sound very cool.
Or maybe a The Paul....
