Product information

So what would happen if you crossed a Guild S-100 Polara with a Grosh NOS Retro?

CO-based Don Grosh and his crew are always so gracious with the ideas we put forth, and this TME-spec'd NOS Retro - we're unofficially calling a "GS-100" model - is a great example of their willingness to humor our build ideas. Basically, we thought it'd be cool to have Don and his team build a series of Guild S-100 Polara-inspired Strats. Why? Honestly, we have always loved the S-100 and thought it'd be cool to borrow some of its design language and apply it to a Grosh Strat, simple as that.

Truth be told, we all let out an audible gasp the second we popped the case on this 59 Burst GS-100. This guitar is just so incredibly cool and has some features that make it a one-of-a-kind:

59 Burst Alder body, maple neck/Indian Rosewood fingerboard, twin Grosh G-90 pickups w/chrome covers, reflector knobs, reverse headstock painted black with a gold Grosh logo, MoP dots on just the 3,5,7, 9, 12, and 15th frets (ideas taken from a vintage S-100), white tuner buttons, and a volume for the neck pickup, a volume for the bridge pickup, and a master tone.

Pretty slick, right? Looks incredible in our book...

This NOS Retro sounds incredible and can cover such a huge range given the twin Grosh-wound P90s, long scale, twin volumes, master tone, and 3-way switch set up. Rock, blues, jazz...you name it, if you're technique is dialed in and you've got the right pedals and gear you can do a ton with this one.
