I'm going to vote for fake. Pick guard looks off to me. Headstock silhouette is off. Label is wrong and very similar to the ones noted here although with the change in the LTG software and the general issues when pictures hosted elsewhere are deleted that thread is in need of some serious help and editing. Serial number is bogus.

I agree.
Bridge , pickguard, headstock shape, and label are all wrong.

Its as fake as a three dollar Gibson.

Bart, I see a first post. Welcome to the forum! I do hope you hadn't already bought the guitar. Sorry but yeah, it's a fraud.

Witamy w LTG bartt! Tak, to jest fałszywy Guild. (Yes this is a fake Guild).

If you are interested, the original Guitar (before the labels and decals were changed) was a cheap Ibanez V model, maybe a V50, as we identified here:

That is a Ibanez V50:

And this the fake Guild:
