wileypickett said:The seller thought it was from '67, and I never checked the serial number!
Unfortunately the date stamped on the underside of the top next to the soundhole -- only visible with a mirror -- is little more than a smudge. The only vaguely discernable digit is a "7."
Question for Hans: according to what I've read in the archives, Guild stopped using Brazilian in 1969. Is this not true?
Or do you think this is a case of Guild having some leftover BRW and using it up?
Or could the body have been made prior to '71, but the guitar only completed in '71?
Thanks!
(And while I appreciate the pats on the back for having the work done, Guild's repair shop folks deserve all the applause!)

Glenn,
It seems like it's been mentioned here that some left over BRW was used in the early 70's. Lucky bugger!
