Hello Louie,

Welcome! Not sure if I can help you but I don't remember if models like the Bluesbird had a specific owner's manual. I believe that during the FMIC period most models had a hang tag with a little information about the model. Since I've personally never bought a new Guild in a store, I couldn't tell you if during the second half of the '90s Guild guitars were sold with anything else but the generic owner's manual as pictured in this photo:

Maybe somebody like 'hideglue' would remember!

Anyway, if you're just looking for the generic manual, as pictured above, I could help you with that.

Sincerely,

Hans Moust

Hello Louie,

As Hans states, only the generic manual was shipped with the Bluesbird.

Pretty much the same info. Unless you are looking for the manual for case candy.

I've got a Bluesbird with case candy and manual, and I can confirm it is a generic manual - cover identical the one posted by Hans.
I'd do a copy for you, but it is an hour's drive away for sale in a guitar store and a download is simply going to be the same thing.
I hope you are enjoying your Bluesbird. Great guitars.

Sorry, been away from home. Thanks eveyone for your replies. I have the generic manual. Please Do not go to any trouble in getting me a copy. I was looking for more or less a setup/maintenance manual to show me how to setup the pups, intonation, nut and tunners. It's been over 43 years since I last played the Guitar. I had a Band from 1958 to 1968. I took lessons from 1955 at 5 years old till 1968 then life got in the way, and I just have to play again. I'm looking to replace the pickups and add 4 push/pulls for more variations in sound. I'll be using a Peavey Delta Blues combo amp with 1X15 and a 2X12 external cabinet also a Tech 21 60 watt combo Amp and a 2x12 external cabinet. I got all of this off of craigslist from some guy who got hurt and can't play anymore for $1800 this inluded the Guild also, Just a Great deal! at the right time. If anyone can suggest some pickup selections and brand names for the push/pulls that would be Great!. I'll be playing music from the 50's to todays music. Thanks everyone for all the replies. Louie

Hi Louie,

I can't recommend a push pull knob maker, try Stewmac or similar. Just be sure that you have sufficient room in the cavity for the extra depth. I had an issue with a push-pull in my SG, but they are a particularly thin bodied guiatar.

I got some great advice form iismet on pickup height here. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=24522
He's talking about a Starfire IV, but the principles/methods are valid for all guitars.

You really did get a great deal on all that gear!
