NGD - Peregrine Custom

awagner · Apr 4, 2018

Just bought a 2000 Custom Shop Peregrine on Reverb. #10 of 12 of this variant.

And yes, I know the truss rod cover is upside-down.

It appears to be in near-mint condition, although the original Fishman system was replaced with another Fishman. Taking it in soon for a setup and to make sure the electronics are fully functional.

Wow ! Never seen those models awesome !

awagner · Apr 4, 2018

An extra nut and saddle was in the case pocket with the key and owner’s manual. Never seen that before.

Congrats - beautiful guitar - you're gonna love it!

When you are 10 of 12 of a HIGH END Guild an extra nut and saddle is mere "chicken feed" for such a guitar.
You got 23 of the best!

Dude, they forgot the soundhole! No problem, a hole saw will soon take care of that.

So how do you like playing it?

It plays very nicely, but I have not played it much yet. It was shipped to my office so I can’t plug in until I get it home after the setup.

Yeah, the Peregrine is kinda quiet without an amp...
I miss mine :saturn:

That abalone inlay around the body is killin' me... wow!

Wow! Now that is some gorgeous wood! Congratulations!

The dot fret markers are also abalone. I didn’t even notice until I saw the guitar up close.

So far I am very impressed with this one.

You call it a soundhole. I call it a “pick magnet.” Problem solved with this guitar.

Dude, use your fingers, and maybe employ one of these:

Certainly is a beauty! :saturn: One thing I do wonder about is the number of pictures I see of Guilds with the truss rod cover on upside down; seems to be a lot more common on Guilds than for any other brand. Wondering if it is some sort of fashion statement? Certainly looks better than most brands would!
