Newark St. Guild M75G Aristocrat -SOLD

This a fairly new Newark St. Guild M75G Aristocrat. The goldtop was a limited run, but I don’t know how many were made. The back, sides, and neck are mahogany. VERY good condition w/ OHSC.


From Guild:
"Chambered body. The limited edition M-75G features a luxurious gold metallic top with lightly stained mahogany back, sides and neck offset with nickel hardware. This unique compact guitar has a gracefully sculpted hollow body designed specifically to produce the resonance of a larger sized instrument. Select spruce top; mahogany sides & back; 3-piece mahogany/maple/mahogany neck; twin Guild “Frequency tested” single-coil pickups with individual volume and tone controls; 3-way pickup selector; rosewood bridge; Guild “harp” tailpiece and Grover Sta-Tite™ tuning machines."

The Bigsby was professionally installed by SF Guitar Works here in San Francisco. The original harp tailpiece will be included and because of the neck angle and arched-top geometry, a Bigsby B3 works quite well. I will also include an unused, un-slotted Sorkin style Bigsby bridge w/base in case you ever want to use a wound G.

The pickups were rewound to a slightly lower output, closer to vintage specs by SF Guitarworks' guy, Schuyler Dean Pickups (link below). They were also lightly wax-potted and RWRP for hum-cancelling in the middle position.

$925 and it’s yours, shipped CONUS. Email with questions or for more pics.

That's a beautiful guitar and if I hadn't just bought another amp I would strongly consider it. However, the description "Other features include a 17″ x 3 1/8″ hollow body with venetian cutaway" is not accurate, that sounds more like X175 dimensions. I'm sure most Guildophiles here would know that.

Good luck with the sale!

Ha! I'll be darned. I didn't even proof Guild's ad copy. Thanks!
