I am looking at a Nightbird but I do not know much about them. I am hoping that there is someone here that might be able to answer a coupld of questions.

1.) The serial # is BL100244. Can you tell what year it is?

2.) In clean condition what is a resonable price to pay?

3.) What is the difference between the Nightbird I, II, GG?

Thanks for your help.

Here is a good website, with production numbers listed, and some other good info as far as I, II, and GG. Yours looks like a 1986, it should have Nightbird GG on the truss rod cover. The last Nightbird I saw like that was listed at 1850, and sold but I don't know the sale price. Is yours all original with OHSC?

1800-2200, that seems to be the market price lately. If you can snag one cheaper, go for it, and if you can't go for it, point it out to me and the rest of the gang.

Why did they stop making them? Not sure...Hans?

Bad timing (it was the 80's...pointy guitars) coupled with the usual Guild marketing meant low sales.
