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

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

Performance, playability, and styling are the hallmarks of the Firebird VII. When first introduced in 1963, the Firebird VII was celebrated for its natural feel, fast action, and wide range of tone. With its 9-ply mahogany and walnut neck-thru-body design, 6-in-a-line banjo-style machine heads and adjustable ABR bridge with Vibrola tailpiece, this guitar became the rage. The new Firebird VII also features replicas of Gibson's high-output mini humbucker producing bright and focused output, while retaining the famous Gibson humbucker performance. The ebony fingerboard and Lyre Vibrola add to its expressive range.
