Hello folks, first time posting, but figure this is the spot to ask, so hopefully can get some answers. I've recently been given a Guild Archtop with a busted headstock. Being a luthier hobbyist, I made a new face to replace the unsalvageable original veneer, and reset and glued the broken parts as well as my talents allowed. Not a pro job, but it's going to hold strong. This is where it gets interesting. I wanted to get some history on this gem, so I looked inside to find a serial nmbr in the 1400's, and from their days in New York. It's a blonde x-175, with 2 pickups, 2 control knobs, and the one piece Guild headstock logo. All these things are leading me to believe I've been given a ver nice piece of Guild history. Anyone have any more info to help me solve this mystery? Apologies for lack of pics and exact serial nmbr. I am currently at work, so will post those this evening. Thanks for any and all input...
