| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Guild electric guitar has been heavily modified, and shows various light scratches, dents, and dings on the natural refinish. The hardware is mildly tarnished, and there are open holes on the front of the body from previously installed mini switches. The back of the neck is nicely worn, and there are open screw holes on the back of the headstock from the original tuners. |
| Serial Number: | N/A |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief, and the original narrow frets are low with light play wear. The lack of a body sticker prevents accurate dating, however the construction dates the guitar to the 1960s. The heavy modifications appear to have been done in the late 1970s. |
