Hi,
I'm an old guy (three chord garage guy) and have become a fan of old Guilds. I have a pretty '68 Starfire V and a really pretty '66 Starfire III and just picked up this '69 Bluesbird M-75. After having the bridge worked on a bit, I really like it. Early impressions are that it is brighter sounding than the other two Guilds. Really light.
I've got a few questions about it.
Is this guitar from Hoboken or Westerly? If it helps, the serial number is DD 3xx.
Is the body maple? It appears that the fretboard is ebony. Since the pickups read in the low fives, I'm assuming that's why it's a little brighter sounding guitar.
Thanks for your help.
