It was a... 1961 IIRC. The same as this one, but even brighter. I now own a SFIII with mini-hums, which jangles in its own right, but it's not a true jangle.garyfanclub wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 3:56 amWas the Guild you checked out an older one?

I know! I'm so excited!MrFingers wrote: ↑Thu Aug 02, 2018 11:14 pmAnother option is using a guitar with DeArmond pickups. One of the most jangl-y guitars I've played was an old Guild Starfire III with the white-topped DeArmonds. The Coronado also has DeArmonds, so...
It was some recent reissue of that, not vintage.garyfanclub wrote: ↑Fri Aug 03, 2018 3:56 amWas the Guild you checked out an older one? I’ve heard the late 60s Starfires are super jangly, especially the ones with the Guild mini-hums.
If I could find one like in the video, I would have been tempted in that direction.

I look forward to hearing what you think of the Coronado. That picture is amazing!
I cannot think of a single good thing to say about the sound of a Rickenbacker. In any era or pickup variation. It's a shit guitar. My answer to the original question would have easily been a Jaguar.

So, what do you *really* think about RICs? I think you’re holding back a bit and that open and honest communication would help the group here.mediocreplayer wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 6:31 amI look forward to hearing what you think of the Coronado. That picture is amazing!

I mean, this guy’s clearly played all of them, and his sample size is large enough to declare them “shit guitars” across the board! The authority has spoken!wproffitt wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:01 amSo, what do you *really* think about RICs?

Well, we come here to share opinions about random things; why would this be different? No authority was claimed -- just that I think it is a shit guitar. Not sure why that would irk you. You can feel free to think they are the best guitars ever made if you like.garyfanclub wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 7:11 am

Just some light teasing - not disputing your opinion at all, you’re entitled to it!
