Oh! No - I need to ship it down to Fixit and that's kind of on the back burner at the moment.

I cant help but fantasize about Guild putting a proper (hockey stick) headstock on their Superstrat guitars, and lose the inlays but thats just me.

The on fire burst is amazing.

The somewhat pink guitar in the original post could be slightly faded if the color is accurate at all. All other shades in the photo looks pretty much one, the gold, the paper, the case, the binding.

Gibby did all of the same colors on Les Pauls. Trans Red they called it, Trans Blue. Now if they had a Trans Green I'd be interested.

This could be Magenta, as it has a range, but to me true Magenta veers mote to the violet, more blue.


"Magenta is a colour which can vary from deep pink to saturated purple. On colour wheels of the RGB and CMY colour models, it is located exactly midway between red and blue. "

CMYKH (c, m, y, k): (0, 100, 0, 0)
HSV (h, s, v): (300°, 100%, 100%)
SRGBB (r, g, b): (255, 0, 255)
Hex triplet: #FF00FF

The X2000 is not faded. It's a kind of grapefruit pink.

Not a fan of hocky stick headstocks without points (too Kramer) but Guild made plenty with super-strat like headstocks, some weirder than others. I think the most elegant is the "foot" (third one down) but I like the "cake knife" (first two):

the same thing also happened to that green nightbird that kept changing LTG hands a few years ago. I remember it would up w DRC and he posted a pic of that same flaw by the fretboard/nut area
