Hello Guild Folk. I've been lurking for a while now and finally am close to perhaps rejoining the ranks of you Guild owners (I played a beater of a Starfire for a couple of years back in the mid-90s). I have my eyes on a 1971 sunburst Artist Award. It's way over my budget, but I've played it and it is beautiful so perhaps I can find a way to it. I was hoping perhaps some Artist Award owners might be willing to give me some advice as to what to look out for the next time I inspect this guitar? Is there anything AAs, particularly from that time period, are prone to? I own a couple of guitars and have a fair amount of vintage guitar experience, so basics aside I am just curious if anyone has any wisdom to share.
I am also curious if anyone has a sense of the rarity of the sunburst versus blonde model AAs during this time period. I feel like I see more blondes than SBs in general (and am partial to the former).
Thanks in advance for your input.
