Cos Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 This is my Guild S-90. I picked it up for $85.00 back in the late 70's. Needs a bit of a clean up, but it plays and sounds great. I have a Bigsby that I'm going to get around to mounting on it one of these days.
matiac Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 My techies got 3 of those, he used to work at Guild when it was here in Westerly (R.I.).
Dr. Rock Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 The price for this kind of "copy" from the '70 have rised in the past few years. It would be interesting to evaluate the guitar before modification.
JefferySmith Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Guild never got any respect from my colleagues (16-year-olds) in the 1960's, but I have to admit that I wouldn't mind fiddling around with one. Do they even make them any more? Or are they Asian guitars with the Guild name on the headstock?
Cos Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 I haven't seen a price guide on this, but I recently saw comparable ads for $500 to $700. Long ago I decided this was a keeper, so I'm not really worried about hurting it's value.

pohatu771 Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 On the Fender forum, there's talk of a Rhode Island factory opening... I don't know what they'll be making there, though.
