After a long day of work, I went to a local music shop and this beauty was hanging on the wall! After about 20min she was mine!

I believe that if I had to choose only one electric guitar that I could own it would be a Nightbird. Great score! Congratulations!

Very nice. Congrats. You mentioned your other Nightbird and the fact they're very different. Can you elaborate? Thanks!

Well done, droney. Major score there. I have just one question: what took you so long? I mean, 20 minutes? :D

I took the liberty to post a bigger phone of your Nightbird for all to enjoy. Hope you don't mind.

Wow! Super sweet find. I've never seen a 'burst Nightbird before, bet they're pretty rare!

My other Nightbird is a 1990 Deluxe. Made with a solid poplar body.

In my first post here, Hans replied:
"Welcome! The blue Nightbird that you have is a Nightbird Deluxe from 1990. This is something Guild tried with leftover pieces from regular Nightbirds and hardware they had laying around from discontinued models, just to see if there was a market for it.
They are very unlike Nightbirds since they don't have the chambered body; or I should say the ones I've seen so far didn't have the chambered body. They were all a little bit different.
Since you looked at the inside of the guitar when you had the backplate off, you could tell us if your guitar is like I described. I'm curious to know!
They are very good basic guitars but because of the body design they are more Les Paul-ish than an eighties Nightbird would be. Very limited production during 1990 and 1991.
Really cool example of typical Guild policy. Never waste good materials!"

Yea, it took them about 20min to locate the case which included original warranty and manual!
