S-100 serial number not recognized

[Jmh42075]

I recently purchased an S-100 tagged as a 1997. The serial number is FB000853. The databases show the numbers in 1997 ending at 770. Can anyone help point me in the right direction to help verify this guitar. I’ve had multiple technicians look at this guitar and all have verified that it looks legit.

Hello Jmh42075,

Welcome! Your Guild S-100 is legit; don't worry about it. It was completed during the year 1998.

Sincerely,

Pretty much all the online charts are blind to the late 90s, early 2000s Guild serial numbers. Luckily, we have Hans who has the records to answer. Enjoy your ‘98!

Thank you. I play in a Chris Cornell tribute band in the NY Metro area so I was going for a little Kim Thayil authenticity.

Congrats on the '98 S-100! I recently purchased a '97 S-100 pretty much like yours but dark red. They are super nice, very well built guitars.

I just received my S-100 so no vids yet of that guitar but I will be using it for our show next week.
