i have had a guild songbird guitar for quite some time whose serial number is KK000083, and i am very curious as to the date that it was made. i tried using the official serial number chart but the earliest record that could find for the songbird in the chart started in 1990 with that year's production ending in KK001267. i love the guitar and by the very low serial number, i have to believe that it might have been made during the first year of production. i'd be curious if anyone out there might have any information about the early model and in particular, where in the chronology of production it falls. thanks so much.

Hello gcf,

Welcome! Your Songbird was completed during the year 1987, which was the first year of production.

hans,
thanks so much for your quick and very helpful reply. from the guild serial number chart, the last serial number at the end of 1990 was KK001267 so that means that on average they would have produced about 316 guitars per year. mine is definitely an earlybird in the songbird line. thanks again, gene
