What model is this guitar

  • I had this Guild so many years ago but I cannot remember the model. This was back when I was not playing so much so I went to sell the Marshall stack and this guitar. The owner of the store was not too interested in the Marshall even though it was literally brand new. But he REALLY wanted this guitar bad.
    So I sold it to him along with the amp for cheap. Do not remember how much and dont really want to.


    Back story-
    I bought the stack and a Hendrix reissue guitar lefty. I am a righty. For $400 ! Yes $400 ! They were both brand new. This is when I was in North Carolina. Anyway this woman that sold them to me bought them for her soon to be son in law. Not weeks later it didnt happen. He was gone.
    So she kept these things in her spare room for almost a year, I guess waiting for another suitor for her daughter. :D
    She offered them to me for $400. I beelined it to the bank and was back with the cash quick.


    Moving on about a month I hear of a guitar show/ sale thing happening in Charlotte so I thought I would see if I could trade the guitar in on something that I could actually play. I come across a guy selling some used guitars and he really likes the Hendrix guitar. I looked through his wares and chose the Guild. We traded straight up.
    I figured the Guild was a nice guitar but I didnt get to play it there. I get home and hook it up and it has a beautiful tone. As well as my ears at the time could tell. I wasnt so good then. Eventually I just didnt play it much so I went to sell the whole deal.


    Modern day.
    I want that guitar back! Or another of the same model. Now that I am better and I understand a good tone much better rather than just hard heavy metal licks. I understand more now why that guy wanted this guitar so bad.


    Sorry, it is a picture of a picture.


    What model Guild is this?





    I want to be able to search for it. I Googled Guild guitars and came up with nothing on this particular guitar

  • Since I'm located in Germany and since this guitar was a pretty limited run in 1988 (as far as I learned using Google), I'm not even sure there is one here in this country.
    So the answer to your question: Yes, I'm a pretty good and fast Googler. ;) Glad I could help.
