There, it took me a while but I knew I had a chair in there somewhere. Two chairs in fact… ‘62 T100 on the left, ‘54 x150 on the right. And some Starfires, red ‘66 hollow body 4, ‘66 green 12 (leaning on a chair!), and ‘63/4 Starfire 5 in Weedon spec, apologetically leaning on a table!

We sure it's a B50? I once convinced myself that all B50's had split saddles. Early B30's had split saddles and later ones had straight saddles. I am perfectly prepared to be wrong since that is the fate of all my generalizations about Guild basses dealing with chronology but I figured I'd ask. I do like the black and wonder if the rosette is the same as on a '82 B50, natural. Looks like the center circle above is more complex.

I did wonder about the non-split saddle, but knowing nothing about Guild basses or any basses really, that's all I did is wonder. So you think it may be a B30?

Thanks. I need to adjust me expectations. Serial makes it 1986 but I will not that the last serial in 1987 on the chart I am looking at is less that the last serial for 1986. Once again don't trust the charts :)

Can we have a close-up pic of the rosette?

Are there variations of rosette - in both B-30 & B-50 ?
