He says it's factory and with the Guild logo on the headstock, I'm temped to believe him! I thought the VH stripes were a trademark thing and I'm surprised to see it. Anyone ever seen one of these before? Hans - is it really a factory finish?

I seem to remember seeing these back in the day. I would bet it is factory. I'm thinking late 80s? My memory of dates isn't what it used to be!
