I'm sure there are others on the board with first year Guilds as well.

Hello Nels,
You probably looked at ser. # 7627 instead of # 76271. There were no Mk II guitars in 1958 yet.
Your guitar is from 1973.

Hans,
Thanks for your reply. I'm a bit confused -- the serial number "76271" is stamped on the back of the headstock and also handwritten on the label inside the guitar. The label (which looks much older than the labels on my two 1978 Guilds) also says it is a "MK II". I'd be happy to send you closeup photos if you'd like!
Regards,
Nels
