what strikes you as particularly Guild about it? At first glance it looks like an L5 shaped body with Gibson style pickups, a gretsch control scheme, Gibson Byrdland-esque tailpiece and epiphone style inlays and pickguard..
Mainly the headstock which reminds me of the Artist Award, Chesterfield-ish inlay, X-500 body, '50s style pickguard (which admittedly Guild took from Epiphone).
