Oops, I Guilded again, and again.
So, I'm not getting the clean '66 Sunburst til the 7th, and this other one pops up, and with an unreasonable offer I got it too, and it will be here on the 11th. Oh thank heaven for 7-11 ;] Not sure when it was listed, but it seemed to be flying under the radar, and it's as crusty as the other one was clean.
The beauty - SA-134 - was from Clovis California, apparently they only sold 100 of these in '66, SA-101 to 201.
And the beast - SA 207 - from Arcadia California, this is a '67 actually, the 5th 1967 guitar built, only 288 of these made in '67, SA-202 to 490.
What's the chance of this, these two guitars were only 3hrs away from each other, with Bakersfield in the middle. I imagine they maybe both sold at the same Guild dealer back in '66/'67.
They're both Sunbursts, and they both have Tremar Trem.
The beast is a red Sunburst, seller apparently unaware as he called it Cherry.
Beauty, seller pics.
Waverly inline tuners
And the beast. Gird yourself, it needs some love. It's as worn as the other one is not. The headstock logos are different, SA-207 having the V under the Guild, which I like better actually. Beauty is Alder, unusual for Guild, and Beast I assume is Mahogany, so this should make for an interesting tone test.
