I thought it was the Runaway, and still kind of think it is, but I re-read some of the prior threads on this, and in one of them someone references a previous post by Hans that seemed to indicate it was another "ator" model. if that were to be the case, i don't know what other "ator" words are even out there that Guild handn't used yet. perhaps Dominator or Gladiator. If I had to have one single final answer today, I think my guess is Runaway.

Oddly enough, I have something similar in black. It had the original pups removed and a Kahler Flyer trem installed instead of the Mueller. As a result, it can't intonate properly. It's just holding down the closet floor at the moment.

I wonder if it's the same "unknown" model as mine?...

Marketing slogans for these guitars:

Activator - You can't help jumping around and posing when you play this guitar!

Escalator - Excellent for shredding up and down the fretboard!

Radiator - Watch the crowd heat up when you solo on this baby!

Percolator - Play this guitar each morning, it will wake you up!

Calculator - Trying to add to your repertoire? This guitar will help!

Incinerator - Flaming, shredding, solos on this hot axe!

Accelerator - The style of this fretboard and guitar will make you a faster soloist!

Legislator - This guitar only stays in tune once a week, but when it does, it rocks (sort of)!

Or perhaps more appropriate for current member demographics:

Ambulator - Still paying heavy metal at your age? This guitar will call 911 automatically after one hour!

Fibrillator - Wake up the crowd (and yourself) with this guitar!

Accumulator (Grot, GAD, we're lookin' at you!) (+1!)
