I got the guitar today. Quick and dirty phone pic because I need to run out:
Observations:
The Wonderbar trem is an abomination and the installation is a train-wreck. It's designed for a wider fretboard so the high E string is off the side of the neck by the 7th fret. I don't know how he played the damn thing. You can actually see this in the pic. I have a feeling that it's loose because it doesn't look that way in the pics he sent me, but I don't care because it's coming off. I just hope it's not hiding more sins that will become visible when I remove it.
The neck feels surprisingly chunky, but I haven't measured so take that with a grain of salt. It's weird to play a maple-fretboard Guild. Electronics all work and it sounds fine.
It definitely feels like a Guild, but it's got some odd design choices here and there that I'll point out when I write it up. It's hard to judge it with that awful bridge on it, though.
