Look further down for a new post with updated info and photos.
I saw a 1970s S-100 on eBay and couldn't resist, so I pulled the trigger! It needs work since it was poorly refinished back in the 70s, but I think it should be an interesting and fun project. The seller is shipping it out tomorrow, and seems extremely nice. I'm excited/nervous to see how it looks in person. The price was right, though, so I'm not too worried.
It looks like the original finish was red. I'm kind of wondering if whoever repainted it just sprayed right over the old finish. It seems like it from the back of the headstock. It also seems like all the original contours are there and unmolested, which is another reason it seems like it might have just been resprayed right over the original finish. We'll see...
Does anyone know a source for the right neck binding material? I've never replaced binding on a Guild before. I might just have to measure, buy the closest thing from StewMac, and shave it down.
Other thoughts?
I'll definitely post photos when it arrives.
Here are the photos from the eBay listing:
