Great find! Congratulations! With SH1 in the neck and SH4 at the bridge. The S-100 was still offered in the year 2000 catalog, so there seem to be more out there after that one. I think our member Hammer used to have #1134 from year 2000 in the past.

At least the 1997 to 2000 catalogs show no green:Does anybody know if they made the later 90's reissue version with the gotoh bridge in green? I thought I saw the color offered in a later 90's catalog but not sure.

This cherry one was bought new by Fender's senior vice president of global marketing Rich Mcdonald at an employee sale over at Fender's corp. headquarters in Scottsdale,Arizona. How it got from Westerly to that warehouse is unknown.

I think it's pretty simple and nothing secret. FMICs headquarters were responsible for marketing, catalogs, trade fairs, vendors and so on. For all those purposes they required instruments from the various FMIC owned brands, so it is only logical that lots of instruments ended up in Scottsdale. We had the same situation when New Hartford was sold, there were long lists of instruments that were liquidated out of Scottsdale.How and why are the unanswered questions...
What is up with this thread? I own, and have had the "'93 FB000002", in my possession, since December 2019.
No, it's the same guitar.What is most likely is this is another example of Guild inadvertently duplicating serial numbers.
