I just bought this from Sweetwater in June. It's mint with the plastic still on the pick guard. I also bought the matching gig bag from Guild ($69 version) as the guitar doesn't come with a case new. I bought it to "reverse capo" some songs I have trouble singing. But I think it's really tonally it's own thing and I haven't ended up using it. I'll also include a free set of Stringjoy strings that I never put on. It still has the factory strings. Electronics work. Free shipping to CONUS. If no takers here, I'll consign it at my local shop. Thanks!!
