Any Sweet fans? Possible Guild sighting

Andy Scott was the lead guitarist for Sweet, a 70's glamour band with quite a few good hits. I'm not an electric expert but it looks like he's playing a Guild. You be the judge. Here's two: Ballroom Blitz (which I love Brian Connolly's vocals) http://youtu.be/G9axhIjVGaw and then Little Willy http://youtu.be/hmbEuRzlhIs where you get a better view of the headstock at about the 1:30 mark.

Big fan of The Sweet. Desolation Boulevard is an entire album of great songs. The vocals are just nuts with the double-triple-quadruple tracking, harmonies, and those high notes... oh my.
I think the guitar is a Gibson though :?

Looks like a Gibby to me. The clip below has an opening shot of a reissue SF4 (very similar to my own):

Love the point where the tele player loses his pick, and the singer goes over and picks it up for him.

Sweet is great! I remember catching "Blitz" on the AM dial during high school, and cranking up the old dashboard speaker as loud as it goes - not very!
