Okay, I've offered up my battle-scarred but still sonically wonderful '77 S-100 a few times, and have had some interest and a few "I'll buy it" offers, including a pending deal on it. But the power if this guitar is not in the interest it garners, but in its ability to make those interested in it find other S-100s or Guilds to buy. To wit:
I responded to a Craiglist WTB from Caseygree, offering the '77 S-100 to him. He declined, but eventually bought an '82 S-275 that belonged to a friend from a different guitar forum.
Larry Esposito expressed interest, and then I got an offer to buy it from another LTG member. Larry rebounded nicely from his missed opportunity by buying Qvart's '74 S-100 carved.
And I've had conversations with Fearless about the '77 Standard and told him that he'd be next in line for it if the as-yet-to-be-consumated deal fell through. He kept looking and now bought the '73 S-100 in Portland.
Apparently, if you want to find a vintage S-100, just express interest in buying my '77 and you'll wind up finding and buying one (just not mine).
