Got my new Guild B30

blinddog · Sep 17, 2020

Got my new bass today - looks great and sounds great. Man this body is HUGE! So, the serial number is AB301352. Any idea what year it is? The tag in the sound hole says Westerly, RI so I assume it was made there, but I don't know.

We probably need Hans. It is just off the end of 1999 in the semi-accurate and occasionally complete dating chart. But it is definitely made in Westerly RI. Looks nice.

Here are the pictures. Hans contacted me and let me know where to find that date stamp inside on the neck block, Sept. 1997, apparently completed in 1998. Also, B30 NT (no E) yet has electronics that have been upgraded, so there's a battery compartment on the back that isn't used.
