Instead of highjacking the "Who has the oldest Guild?" thread, I thought I would post my photos on a new thread.
I appreciate your assistance in dating my old Guild -- thanks!

With the serial number and label info we can safely say that your Mark II is from 1973.
The published serial number info for the '70s is correct on the majority of dating sites.
And yes, you should get a copy of 'The Guild Guitar Book'. I do not mind answering questions on this forum but there's a lot of little details that you can easily find in the book and that can help you to verify the dates of most Guild guitars up to 1977.
Sincerely,
Hans Moust
