Hello all !
I joined here looking for information about the mid 80's Bluesbirds with the EMG's, Kahler trems and 6 on a side headstock. Wayyyy back in the distant past, I remember seeing pictures of both Brian Setzer and Earl Slick with these guitars, and at the time remember some quick references in magazine articles etc. of a Setzer designed Bluesbird...I recently have a renewed interest in these guitars,( Don't laugh ! I'm getting nostalgic for the mid 80's in my old age !) but information and photographs about them seems very thin on the ground .
I got as far as a tribute site for the Nightbird that shows a scan of the Guild pricelist and it mentions a Setzer designed model with 3 pickups and a 799.00 price tag.
Does anybody here have some pics or information about these guitars ? There are a couple for sale presently on Ebay, including a black one with a refin and trem coverted to hardtail which seems to have been all over the 'net, as well as a red model with some sort of blade pickups. What is a reasonable amount to expect to pay for one of these ?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out !
