Welcome back after couple years absence. What a nice guitar and much admiration for the D100.
Hans will be by most likely, along with others to give correct answer.
My research says one of the first D100 carved heel in 1994.

The date inside states Feb 23/1993
That was the date the rim was completed. Actual ready-to-ship date was a couple of weeks to months later, depending on the model and demand. They typically built in batches of 6. A high-ender like yours might have 2 or 3 built for orders and then have some near-complete bodies waiting for new orders. Allowed 'em a bit of flexibility if somebody wanted a sunburst, for example.

We've also seen initial runs of 24 pieces that were discontinued for low demand or some other reason.

It occurred to me yours is from a period when Guild was puting 1-3/4" nuts on a lot of high-enders, what's yours? :)
