Hey all. I just picked up what I think is an S-100 for $500 (good deal? ripped off? what do you think?), mostly because I thought it plays well and sounds great. However, I was hoping that someone here would be able to help me ID what's been replaced and what's still original. Also, the Guild logo is completely gone from the headstock, which just baffles me.
I picked up the guitar from Guitar Center, who identified it as a "Guild SG 7.0 845". I have no idea what that means.
Serial number is 52628, which marks it as a '71, according to teh Internets.
No phase switch. But those weren't introduced as standard until '72, correct?
I've seen other fairly low-res pictures of S-100 bridges via Google, and they don't look like this one.
I used to have a '78 S-60D, and I don't remember the strap pegs looking like this. In fact, I remember being a little annoyed, because I couldn't install a strap-lock.
And the head. The tuners are Grover Deluxe. My old S-60 had Guild-branded tuners, IIRC. And finally? WTF? Perhaps I'm a little dense, but I don't understand how the Guild logos could be removed without some sort of visible markings.
I can provide more pics if anyone needs them, or higher-res shots if desired. Any help would be much appreciated.
