So I figure since Guild is owned by Fender this would be the appropriate forum? Anyway, I have found someone selling one for approx. $800. It is supposed to be from the 90's and some sort of blue color. It is also supposed to have been built in the US. I haven't found too much info on them, so I was wondering what you guys thought about this guitar. Good deal? No? Thanks!
If its in good condition, sounds like a pretty good deal compared to what they are going for on ebay.
By the way, it looks like a Gibson ES-335. Yeah, compared to the ones on Ebay it seems like a good deal.
Edited my post above. :D
Yeah, I was going to say, I could have sworn your post said something else because it made me look on Ebay...I thought I was losing my mind for a sec...
I also like the DeArmond Starfires they had out for a couple years before Someone realized how good they were and ruined them by making Squiers out of them and then dropping all of them.
Travesty!
That does seem like a good price.
Good guitars.
I've been watching the holllowbody models (SF II & III).
Thanks for the responses! I will definately have to check it out then! I will keep you guys posted.

Ok, question for you guys. The one that I looked at has a small crack that runs all across the neck joint. If this was the guitar, you would see the line on the white binding part next to the strap key. I can't tell if it is just the finish that is cracked or what. Opinions? At least the guy lowered the price to $700...
No biggie.
I sounds like you're describing a finish crack due to the expansion of separate wood parts and bindings. It would be an extremely shallow crack. If so, it's common and not a problem.Quote:

hmm...for some reasons my pics won't load...
Do you mean a seam/space between the binding and that semi-circle heel cap?
No problem.
I look forward to phtots of the real thing when you get it.
I played an absolutely heavenly sounding early 60's A-50 with a Franz neck pickup last Friday.
Only $1,200. I don't need another GAS attack.
An A-50?
Yeah. It should have been an X-50, because of the pickup. "A"[coustic] is for guitars with no electronics. Tempting, and decent condition, but I convinced myself that the couple of side cracks didn't make it a 'must have.'Quote:

Oh well, if you really wanted it, that wouldn't have deterred you.Quote:

Sounds pretty cool.
I haven't managed to play a Guild w/Franz p'ups yet.
It's at Alpha Audio in Mystic. They've also got an older Hoboken CE-100 with two Franz' for a couple hundred more.
This one kicks it's ass.
My skinny hollowbody GAS has been dealt with.:wah:
It should be arriving this week.
Way cheaper and better (IMO) than the new Harmonys I tried recently. (Those thing were pretty disappointing, BTW.)
That's all I'm saying 'til it's in hand. :D
That sounds like a great deal.. I have 3 Dearmonds ( copies ) and they are awesome.. Fender killed the line and started ,making squire models.. bad>> fender

Droolworthy!
That is indeed a pretty guitar.
