The Guilds of Grot
Enlightened Member
Here we go with our next Guilds of Grot adventure. Please remain seated and keep your hands inside the vehicle at all times!
In the late 80's Guild came out with their NEW GUTACHITECTURE Catalog. For the most part it was updated models from the MODERN AVIATION Catalog. (Now more Pointy!)

Let's see how the Guilds of Grot does matching this page!
Yep! Got 'em both!
1985 S-284 AVIATOR:
1985 x-100 BLADERUNNER:
Yeah, mine's missing the BLADERUNNER name below the end of the neck but other than that it's pretty damn close!
Page-2:
Ooh! Got close on these!
Well we already saw the S-284 AVIATOR. (You'd think at least they would have shown a second one with a different P-U configuration!)
!984 X-88 CRUE FLYING STAR:
OK, mine's an earlier one with the 3-on-side headstock. (I like it better anyway!)
1986 S-270 SPRINT:
Yes, so it's labeled a "Sprint" and not a "Flyer". And it's got a pickguard and three single coils. But it does have the symmetrical lower bouts which a Flyer never did. What's that all about anyway? (Do I get points for the Kahler tremolo?)
And we're off to the next post!
