I am interested in purchasing this Guild, the pick ups are replaced as are the tuners and pick guard.
Is he asking to much?
Help!?

Yup, too much.

Hi Harry; of course, it's priced in Canucki dollars which at about $C.75 to our dollar, jars out to US$650 or thereabouts ... which on this side de la bordeur, looks alot better. Would be nice to know if the original parts are in the deal or not ... and more pics would help too.

CJ, you're right. I don't speak French, plus I barely glanced at the advert after I saw the photo with the big 'buckers. When I saw $1300-1400 US, I thought that must be what the Seller wanted. I never even saw $900 Canadian.

$650 US is a lot better. Personally, I would still pass, but that's just me, if only because you can't get it back to original at any practical cost. Wrong case, too.

Again, I'm glad that you took the time to see what the Seller was really asking for the guitar.

Not bad as a "player" if you like 'buckers.

I can't see how you guys are fingering out the price or finding non-original parts. I must be looking at the wrong ad.

For kicks, here are several comparables from gbase

Non, non, Jean. C'est "la plume de ma tante est sur le bureau de mon oncle."
