Guild strat or tele?

[BoneDigger]

Has there ever been a Guild strat or tele clone with single coil pickups? Will there ever be such a thing?

Just responded to your FB post. Look for 80s Flyers, Aviators, Liberators, Detonators, etc. Also, the Brian Setzer version of the Bluesbird from the 80s had 3 single coils. Roy Buchanon T-200 for a Tele.
You can see some in Grot's collection. http://www.guildsofgrot.com/guitars.html

Those are set neck solid bodies, right? The Flyer looks closest but the one I saw had a Floyd Rose tremelo system, and I hate those.

I was wondering if they ever did a bolt on neck, solid body, with single coils and a standard Guild headstock. The Jackson looking headstock on the Aviator isn't my thing. The S100 is nice but not exactly my thing either.

Here is another option. I think these were supposed to be a cross between an Acoustic and an Electric. It is the only bolt on Neck Tele style body I have seen with a somewhat normal Guild Headstock.

That's pretty cool! I'd like to see one of those with standard single coil pickups.

I've got the T 250 Roy Buchanan Tele with EMG's. It's pretty nice.

The Sprint was pretty close to a Strat:

(From the Guilds of Grot Collection)

Offset double cut-away, bolt-on neck, three single coils, six-on-a-side tuners, arm and belly cut. (Albeit a Kahler tremolo)


The S-250 is their version of a Tele:

If you're lucky, you might find an early one with the "cake knife" headstock like on the Detonator:

The Liberator was a set neck. I believe the rest were bolt ons.
