what model is this?

I came across this picture but can't ID the model, I assume it's an older GAD? Does anyone know?

Yes fretboard inlays are indicative of 1st gen (as opposed to "100 series") GAD's, looks like GAD-30 from body shape and bridge; possibly an "R" rosewood, with those dark sides.
Funny thing: I know those showed on Fender's spring '04 price list, yet a search on Wayback machine just now fails to find 'em showing on anything I spot checked up through '06 Tacoma.
Was just trying to verify when those inlays appeared.

The mahogany GAD-30 had normal dot inlays whereas the rosewood GAD-30R had those special inlays. See add from 2005:

Looks like the Guild detectives have solved your case

Thanks, I sure like those inlays. I don't see these GADs come up for sale used very often ...

No mention of an ebony fretboard? Sure looks like ebony, in the OP and the ad....

Yes, the GAD-30 had a rosewood fretboard and the GAD-30R ebony.
