Hello All,
I'm new to this forum so...........my name is Mike, I have a Westerly Made 1997 Guild DC-1E BK HG but, this will be my first Guild electric.
So here's the story, Saw this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-197...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
on E-bay one morning and wanted it badly. The shipping calculator was not working on the post so I asked the seller a question about a shipping quote and better pictures of the pickups and headstock.
Before there was a reply, it was sold with a buy it now. I was very upset with myself for letting it get away.
Today, the same guitar was re-listed. Drc (Dave) was the seller. I have read this forum for years so I recognized the name as a prolific Guild enthusiast.
The same pictures appeared in the new listing, which stated Dave had found another vintage S100 and this one was no longer needed, only this time the hardware pictures where missing.
I inquired about included hardware and the reply was that the original HB-1's (coverless), the wiring harness and cover plate were included but the bridge and tailpiece were not. He was nice enough to include the body inserts for the bridge though. I pulled the trigger this time and although drc has not personally acknowledged the purchase yet, I expect it to finish it's journey back to the west coast early next week.
If there is interest, I will post pictures and explanations of the restore progress as it develops.
The first thing I will need to progress is a complete, chrome Version 1 bridge (I know, hen's teeth, guess that's why Dave kept it.)
If anyone can help to find one of these, please post or contact me.
Thanks for your attention, "in my hands pictures" will be posted next week,
Mike_
