Very nice. Congrats. You mentioned your other Nightbird and the fact they're very different. Can you elaborate? Thanks!
My other Nightbird is a 1990 Deluxe. Made with a solid poplar body.
In my first post here, Hans replied:
"Welcome! The blue Nightbird that you have is a Nightbird Deluxe from 1990. This is something Guild tried with leftover pieces from regular Nightbirds and hardware they had laying around from discontinued models, just to see if there was a market for it.
They are very unlike Nightbirds since they don't have the chambered body; or I should say the ones I've seen so far didn't have the chambered body. They were all a little bit different.
Since you looked at the inside of the guitar when you had the backplate off, you could tell us if your guitar is like I described. I'm curious to know!
They are very good basic guitars but because of the body design they are more Les Paul-ish than an eighties Nightbird would be. Very limited production during 1990 and 1991.
Really cool example of typical Guild policy. Never waste good materials!"
