Hi there, I'm new around here, so here we goes my first post...
I bought this guitar from a friend and I'm looking for some info about it, could somebody help me?
I have uploaded 3 photos here:http://picasaweb.google.com/flexbed/GUITARRA.
I know the previous owner did some modifications; he sure change the tunning pegs and maybe the pickups too.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

PS: Sorry about my english, I'm from Argentina (native spanish speaker).

Hello Jayco,

Welcome! Your english is fine!

Without holding the instrument in my hands it's hard to be 100% sure but I'm almost positive that the guitar in the photos is not a Guild at all.

I'm sorry if this is bad news!

Sincerely,

Hans Moust

It is bad news! :(
Thanks for the reply.
Any idea on this fake guild then? It's some cheap guitar labeled as a guild? Have you seen another like this?

Looking at Grot's Detonator and Liberator makes me wonder if the guitar in question was "inspired' (I'm being polite, here) by one of those?

Hello, Jayco. Looks to me like an old Epiphone copy of a Strat... the headstock shape suggests that. I ran across one of those on Craigslist last year. Not a great guitar... laminate body and fairly cheap hardware. Looks like someone may have refinished the body and slapped on a couple of decals. I may of course be wrong but in any case it doesn't look remotely like any Guild I've ever seen.

Sorry.

Welcome.

Enjoy the ride. :D

Please stay, eventually you'll find your Guild.

And if you stick around you'll have a better idea what to look for.
