Hi

does anyone know about M90 Custom Serial 9360020?

Do you own it/have you owned it?

It's a fraud watch question.

Thanks

Toby

No. But there is nothing that sets off alarm bells in that one picture for me. We know there were instruments made at the Guild Custom Shop and we have seen that label before. The case and lining are typical of the higher end cases Guild has used for a while. The snakehead probably dates it to the 80's.

The more you share the more details we can question or confirm but this is not enough to get me to run away.

Too bad the pics are gone from https://letstalkguild.com/ltg/index.php?threads/guild-m90-custom-shop.178074/ but it support a claim of legitimacy based on what has been posted up to now.

no, i don't think the instrument is fake. I'm well aware of the model and actively looking for one.

Sorry, to clarify I think the seller may not actually have it and have just trawled the images off the web somewhere. I wanted to see if anyone else recognised it.

Hello Toby,

Don't have the slightest idea who owns it now or where it is. The only thing I know is that at some point in time the original pickups were replaced with aftermarket ones. Ask the seller if the original pickups are still with the guitar!

Sincerely,

OK. The ambiguity of "fraud" in this context.
