FS: 1972 Guild S-100

[hansmoust]

Question, what kind of tuners are those. I know they're not Grovers.

according to THE Book, it should have Grover Rotomatics in 72 for the S-100 deluxe. Is this one considered a deluxe?

Nope. Deluxes have the modified Guildsby/Bigsby.

i still think it should have Grovers on it though, since the other one you listed has them and is the same model, but I sent Hans a message to see what he would say about them.

Hello folks,

Those tuners are kind of rare but they are definitely original during this particular period. There's a little 'note' hidden in 'The Guild Guitar Book' on page 175 about these tuners. It's under the photo of the S-100 SC in the lower-right corner.

Sincerely,

Hans Moust

Okay so now we have a vintage '72 S-100 with rare original tuners. Thanks for the clarification/confirmation, Hans. Someone definitely needs to snap this up.

Aww, BIN removed. Booo. Wassup with that, CND? Ah well...removes that temptation! :lol:

 

[MojoTooth]

This one HAS TO be mine! I am GASing outta control for it.

 

[Thunderface]

Aww, BIN removed. Booo. Wassup with that, CND? Ah well...removes that temptation! :lol:

Maybe it was set up where BIN is eliminated once there is a bid.

It shows 0 bids currently. :?

 

[Thunderface]

All the messaging and back and forth must have caused chessnutdog to rethink his pricing. Just eliminating the BIN doesn't necessarily mean the price will be more than $750, it just means it could go above $750. People still have to bid.

I think whosoever gets this baby.....is going to be a happy camper! And plus going to part of awesome S-100 club! :mrgreen:

I checked on page 175 of The Bible, and the answer was right where Hans said it would be...

 

[MojoTooth]

I repeat, this one is MINE! :lol: I can't let this one go without getting in on some S-100 goodness myself! Spoke with CND earlier and committed to this one.

 

[Thunderface]

So a deal has been made, then?

 

[MojoTooth]

So a deal has been made, then?

yessir, only tentative in the sense that the money I need for the purchase will be in my account on/by Weds morning if it isn't then the next person in line will benefit from my loss! but I am making arrangements for the funds to be there regardless, I am headed to the bank to tap my reserve savings just in case. This baby is mine!

 

[Thunderface]

Way to go Mojo. Congrats, and welcome to the S-100 Owners Club!

 

[MojoTooth]

Way to go Mojo. Congrats, and welcome to the S-100 Owners Club!

Thank you Thank you! This one will stay in the family even if I have the bad luck of not getting it. But now I am really off to the bank to make a transfer. It's a honor to be inducted to the S-100 owners club especially under such sweet terms! We will celebrate once I have it in my possession! :lol:

 

[Hammer]

Congrats Mojo! ...hopefully. It's still live on fleaBay. :?

 

[MojoTooth]

Congrats Mojo! ...hopefully. It's still live on fleaBay. :?

well i spoke with the seller on the phone today and reached verbal agreement, so if it works but I'll be very happy and if not the search will continue...but of course the search will continue regardless, for the NEXT Guild :lol:

 

[Treem]

Way to go Mojo to SEAL THE DEAL!!!

 

[chessnutdog]

Im the seller. A deal has been struck. Thanks to all and Hans for his expertise. The buyer seems like a very nice fellow, and it appears this s-100 is headed toward a loving home...Mike

 

[Thunderface]

Way to go, Mike. Way to keep it in the family. It's definitely going to a loving home. Mojo, do you realize that when you add this to your signature, it'll be at the bottom. Now I know your list is in order of how you required them, but I don't think it'll sit will with us S-100 owners to see it at the bottom of any list. :wink:

TOUCHDOWN!!!! MOJO SCORES!!!!!! :mrgreen: :lol: 8)
