Hello Dale,
Not really the right section but I'll answer it anyway.
That particular guitar is a S4CE-BG, a variation on the S4CE. It was introduced at the end of the '90s but is no longer part of the Guild line just like the regular S4CE. It was basically a solid mahogany body routed out, so it became semi-hollow and after that a solid spruce top was added.
It was not really designed as an acoustic guitar but the addition of a Fishman pickup and pre-amp make it possible to get an acoustic-like sound at high stage volume level.
The S4CE-BG model was available in Blue or Red and it listed for $ 1499.99 in 1998. A deluxe hardshell case was included for that price.
It was one of the models that were discontinued after the Westerly plant was closed.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Sincerely,
Hans Moust
