How to date "Fender" Guilds

jrich78 · Nov 19, 2012

I have two Guilds that I can not find out when they were made.

The serial numbers are

CVP000324 - Corona made D50CE
&
FB000878 - S-100 not sure where it was made

any and all information would be welcome!

Thanks Guild fans

Those two guitars are not yet in the published Guild serial number lists, and Hans' second book is also not published yet, so your only chance is to contact Hans via his webpage and ask the info directly from him. He would know those numbers most probably.
I would guess the S-100 is probably from 1998 or 1999 made in Westerly, but again, Hans could confirm the correct dates to you.

I tried to date one of my Guilds, but it slapped me when I felt the lower bout.

I tried to date one of my Guilds, but everybody at the restaurant looked at me funny.

I tried to date one of my Guilds, but I couldn't unsnap the strap.

Because it was attached in an unexpected location?

Pesky straplocks don't help either..
