Hello S-100 lovers,
Noticed the photo of the 1971 S-100 in the eBay/Craigslist section and thought that some of you might be interested in seeing another variation from that same period.
Here's the photo of the guitar on eBay:
Here's another one with a slightly earlier serial number, but with the Hagstrom bridge and vibrato tailpiece:
Even though it has the earlier serial number, it probably left the factory at a later date since it has the phase switch (which could have been a special order) but it also has the molded black plastic truss rod cover, that replaced the metal '60s style cover and which the first guitar still has.
Again a pretty good example of how things were often done at the Guild plant. It certainly doesn't make it easy for those who try to research this kind of stuff.
Sincerely,
Hans Moust
