My first post, but I've been a fan of the site for a while:
I have a 1976 S-100 I am considering selling. Here is the microwave version of the story:
1976 Guild S-100: #135776
1980 (Circa) bought used and given to “middle school” me as a gift
1983 (Circa), turned into heavy metal machine:
Painted black
Humbuckers replaced by Dimarzios
Original case left in rain, warped, and discarded
Original back cover, vintage knobs, and Humbuckers missing
1992 (Circa) Refinished to original Mahogany
2020: Atlanta Guitar Works just completed the following:
Refret, including new bone nut
Two custom humbuckers--about 5000 winds per coil (a little extra on the bridge pick-up)
Bridge Resistance 8.19; Neck Resistance, 8.05
Alnico 5 magnets
Toaster Top covers
New electronics: wiring and 500K CTS pots (and, I still vintage pots/switches)
New Guild Volume and Tone knobs have been ordered
Despite the fact that it is still my favorite guitar and plays and sounds great, I am considering selling it. I just have no idea what its worth. Any help or advice you can offer would be much appreciated. I attached some pictures, as well.
Thanks,
