Hi Folks,
My first time on the forum. I have been asked to help sell the instruments of a friend of mine who recently passed away. Among his collections is an early Guild Acoustic Bass, SR # BA100039. According to Gruhn's book, the serial number dates to 1981. If I am interpreting the number correctly (and it's difficult to locate info on Guild Acoustic Basses online) that would make it the 39th acoustic bass Guild made, but it is unclear if I've got that right. It is in excellent condition with only minor lacquer checking and an couple small finish dings.
I'd love to track down any info about these instruments, particularly production dates and SR #s. The Gruhn'sbook I have is relatively early and only lists serial numbers for Guild, not any information at all about models and production runs. I don't recall seeing a label with a model number, but I'm emailing the owner to see if she can find anything. Does anybody know where I might find a model number on one of these?
Thanks very much!
