WTB: Guild S-250 or S-275

[saltfuture]

Always.
Any condition.
Also, will buy parts.

Hey saltfuture,

You seem to be really into the S25, S250 and S275 models. Can you post pictures of some of your rare models? Do you have any with stock HB-1 Pups instead of the XR7's? I have been interested in installing HB-1's in mine ever since Hans indicated they were an option. This is a really nice model guitar that suprisingly isn't well known. Here are a few pictures of my blond S275. I also think the cherry sunburst S275's models are sharp looking. I am not looking to sell but it is good to know there is someone out their that digs this model Guild.

That's a right sexy beast! Killer condition too.

Is that an ebony board? Looks like a modernized S300.

GAD,

Here is an older photo of the 24 fret neck models (Note: Guild Liberators have 24 fret neck but it is slimmer than the "classic" Guilds and has a different head and is not included in this photo.) I sold the red M80 (I hesitated many time on selling the red M80 -Excellent guitar, very under rated.) last month and kept a Tobaccoburst model with binding around the maple cap-not shown.)

Yes. The S275 has a ebony finger board.

I never saw the similarity between a S275 and S300/S70 but here is a fair comparison.

Hey there matsickma.
I don't have any rare models. I have 1 s-250 that I kind of stumbled upon. It is definitely the best set neck guitar I have ever played, and I am trying now to get a few more as well as cases and what not for the one I have. I can't imagine being without this guitar.

Your @-275 is beyond sexy. I know you don't want to sell, but if you change your mind, I will make you a very nice price on it!

 

[matsickma]

Sorry.

At this time you will have to settle on this S-25.

Hi Hans,

That Cherryburst color is really sharp. A few years back a 80's SF4 was on ebay with this color. It had XR7's and no pickguard. It was a really cool looking guitar. It sold at a reasonable price in the $800s. I had never see another. Have you a record of SF4's in the Cherryburst color?

That's a pretty guitar.

Must say, however, that I'd be a little skeptical about the Kahler Flyer trem and string locking nut being original equipment on this instrument.

 

[saltfuture]

Man... I would have bought that too...

Salty,

Sometimes Jay Pilzer at Guildguy.com can find you a particular Guild because he knows who has what.

Man... I would have bought that too...

Dregging up another old post with new information. A sunburst S-275 with hardshell case in Denver for $800. It's mislabeled as an '81, but actually is an '82.

Did the s25, S250, or S275 ever come from the factory with a bigsby, Kahler, or Floyd, etc?

 

[Thunderface]

An S-275 on Craigslist in Missouri for that belongs to a friend of mine on another guitar post.

Tundra, (Get it? Minnesota? Tundra? Sorry.)

Thanks for posting, especially the one that said these balance well when you play them sitting down. I can't play Bluesbirds because they won't stay put, so now I just gots to try one of these.

Speaking of thunder....

Hasn't felt much like thundra of late, although it's supposed to cool down. And there's Thunderstruck, and then there's Thunderface.
