Thanks to a nice and easy trade deal with pj29, I am the happy new owner of a Guild S300.
I've owned a fair number of S300s, All of which were S300A-Ds so this is the first one I've had that's just an S300. I like it!
The wood isn't really this visible unless it's in direct sunlight or hit with the flash, and otherwise looks brown with a bit of a reddish tint.
I don't know where he found this thing, but I think it was either hung on the wall or stored under the bed for almost 40 years. Aside from a ding on the front and some minor scuff-type wear, the normal wear points of an S300 are damn-near mint. There is NO finish wear on the bridge, the nut is completely clean and it plays and sounds like a dream.
There is rust on the normal screws and the frets needed a good (real good) polishing, and the fretboard just soaked up bore oil like I've never seen which again leads me to believe that someone just let it sit for decades.
