Guild's late-1970s offset double-cut, brought back in mid-2026 with modern hardware and a two-way phase switch.
Watch
Guild's own introduction covers the S-300 Deluxe, and zZounds' clip focuses on the model as a returning rock guitar.
Why it matters
The S-300 was a Guild offset of the late 1970s, and the Deluxe version revives it with modern hardware and a two-way phase switch for out-of-phase tones. It has a mahogany body and mahogany neck with Guild HB-2+ humbuckers, and is offered in Neptune Blue Metallic and Vintage Sterling Metallic. It is listed at $799.99 as of September 2026.
Note
Guild revived its late-'70s offset cult classic in mid-2026, adding modern hardware and a two-way phase switch. At $799.99 it is one of the most distinctive budget offsets of the year.
