new guy here - hope it's okay to post this question here..
so, back in the mid 90's i ordered am s-100 from guild through my local dealer and i can't for the life of me remember what year it was. i toured with,loved and just generally played the snot out of that guitar up through college where i had to sell it to buy electricity,ramen and potatoes
now,if at all possible, i would like to hunt down another just like it and have yet to see another guitar with the same set of features and was hoping you fine, all knowing guildites could help narrowing it down to a year (or 2).
to the best of my recollection it was somewhere between 94 and 97 when i ordered it and when it showed up it had the following (as far as i can remember):
rounded fingerboard butt
exposed coil duncans
phase reversal switch
fitted case with guild logo
natural finish
standard tuneomatic without the big knurled dials
having scoured reverb and ebay and gbase and whatnot, it seems that the rounded fingerboard end and natural finish are mutually exclusive outside of the 70's guitars (which i don't dig due to neck shape).there wasn't an upcharge for the finish when i ordered it (that i remember) but i have yet to find a year model with those combination of features. it took roughly 8 weeks for me to get the guitar, is it possible it was built to order with whatever parts were on hand or was it just a short lived combination?
love the community you guys have here - seems like a nice friendly place.
