Guild S-25 electric guitar S-25
manufactured: 1981-83
body: mahogany
neck: 24 frets, set neck
scale: 24 3/4"
overall length: 38 7/8"
width at nut: 1 5/8"
electronics/pickups: 2 Guild XR-7 pickups. One volume, one tone control. Coil tap or phase switch optional
hardware: SP-6 tailpiece adjusto-matic bridge
finishes: Sunburst, Candy Apple Red, Black

The Guild XR-7 pickups were designed to be switchable, "from humbucking power and distortion to single coil bite and clarity". This requires the optional coil tap switch, whilst the phase switch sets the two pickups are out of phase with each other. "Many players have told us also that they prefer the XR-7 without these options, for a more straight ahead, basic rock sound. The choice is yours". For more about the XR-7 pickups, see the 1982 Guild catalogue

Vox Virage Double Cutaway
Vox Virage Double-Cut Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar

The Virage DC is a solid wood semi-hollowbody guitar that features Integral Tonebar construction that keeps feedback at bay and yields the warm, singing resonance of a semi-hollow instrument with the focused attack of a solidbody. A custom, hand-carved neck joint with an inverse heel offers greatly enhanced upper fret access and comfort in the highest registers.Innovative features include an ergonomically curved bodies, contoured both along its length and across its width. This unique curvature hugs close to the player, and, when combined with the guitars' slightly smaller than typical body size and their arched-top profile, affords a comfortable right arm playing position unlike previous semi-hollow offerings, as well as overall unprecedented playing comfort. The result is a guitar that fits perfectly whether the guitarist is sitting or standing.The Virage DC employs the proprietary VOX Three-90 Pickup System, which relies on two triple-coil pickups to deliver clean, crunch and lead tones, similar to having single coil, P-90 and humbucking-style versatility all in one instrument. Its analog circuitry requires no batteries or active electronics, and provides hum free operation regardless of the tone selected. This pickup system was designed and built in the USA exclusively for VOX by DiMarzio. A three-way toggle makes selecting pickups quick and easy. Users can jump between clean, crunch and lead modes independently for each pickup with a quick flick of each pickup's 3-way mode switch.
