I know they are hard to find but I'm in no hurry. If anyone has one they'd like to move please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks, Ralf! Seems like they are easier to come by in Europe. I'm in Illinois so I'm going to try to find one in the states.

Another example found in Australia. Seems to be priced a bit high.

There is a store in Fredericksburg virginia called pickers supply. They have one on the wall, but do to COVID you cant touch unless you are buying. So i am passing along to the OP. They are asking 900. Or 999, it was hard to see without my glass’s. Gold top and all.

I certainly hope so! I owned an 87 Nightbird back when I used to gig and selling that guitar was a mistake. I don't expect this Aristocrat to be of quite the same quality but it is similar enough that I hope it brings back some memories.

Wonderful. Is there any history behind it? Was it new? Case? They had no info listed from what i could see, plus it was behind a tape barrier. But i am glad you were able to get one. Congrats!
Not new but supposedly in mint condition. Plastic still on the pickguard. Dealer said there was a bit of oxidation on the tailpiece when they got it but it buffed out w/o any problem. Guild hard case is included. It is shipping from the DC area to Illinois so I asked him to wait until Monday to ship.
