Hey folks, new member here. I've been wanting to post this for some time now, but for whatever reason never had the chance until now.
I bought this Guild new in the summer of '84, from a place called "Focus II" in NY. At the time I was looking at Charvels, but they were out of my price range. Anyway, the had a couple of these in various 80's paint jobs; wild colors, graphics, etc... Then they showed me this, which was behind the counter, and I fell in love. Bought it, and she was my main axe for about 5 years.
Fast forward to current day, and she's been sitting in the case, un-strung and rusting for a few years now. I've been thinking alot about her, so I decided to see what I could do to fix her up. Had to replace some parts on the Kahler, polished up the frets, cleaned up the fretboard, now all she needs is a set up.
OK, finally, here are some pics:
I can't wait to get her set up and going. Pickups are EMG-81 & EMG-58, which I never knew until I had her in pieces the other night. I'll report back once she's playable... should be FUN!
