Can anyone date my Guilds?

Canadian Steve · Nov 27, 2008

Hi, new to the site. I just got a new Bluesbird last week and wanted to know what year and what plant it was made at along with my S-100: CL001191 + FB000403. Thanks!

Click on the Guild website here.Next,click on instruments on their main page. Then,click on "Dating your Guild Guitar".

You should be able to match up the serial number located on your guitar with the appropriate info at this site.

I am sure other folks will see your question and provide further assistance. Good luck!

What, no pics?

Welcome to the forum!

Yo, Steve! Welcome to the forum from a fellow Canuck.

Fergawdsakes, post pix! Especially of that S100, man! I have one of those myself and it's my sentimental fave. In fact I was playing it tonight - recording with it into Logic. Great, great guitars.

Hello Steve,

Welcome! Your Bluesbird with ser. # CL1191 was made in Westerly, RI in 1998 and your S-100 with ser. # FB000403 was made in that same location the year before that.

Sincerely,

Hans Moust

Sorry I'm not the most computer literate! Usually I just add a pic from my folder but I can't seem to do it on this site.

They need to be uploaded somewhere online, like http://www.PhotoBucket.com Then post here, click the Img button (up next to Bold, Italics, Underline, Quote, etc) and paste in the URL of the picture. If you need further help, feel free to PM me...I'm always hungry for pictures of new pretties!

Thanks MC Hammer!

I'm changing out the nickel humbuggies on the Bluesbird to a cream and black zebra set from Bare Knuckle Pickups. The S-100 have burnt chrome BKPs in it at the moment and I'm swapping them out for a set of lower powered chrome BKPs. Both guits electrics will be from RS Guitarworks.

That's a fine looking guitar!

Good luck with finding pup bezels, The BB one's are very different that the industry-standard Gibson profile bezels.

Speaking of RS kits, I put one in my Bluesbird. To be brutally honest, it didn't make a bit of difference. Go figure :?

Modern wiring,

...and finally "vintage" 50's wiring,

Wow,Canadian Steve,I just glanced over my shoulder to make sure my Guilds were not watching as I drooled over your guitar! She is real purty! :shock: Thanks for sharing the pics.

Hammer · Dec 30, 2008

Purty. Now...where's the S100!?! :mrgreen:
