In excellent condition with original Guild hard case and case candy.If you're familiar with the reissues you may be aware that the bridge pickup in these Guilds were significantly under-wound due to () a defective bridge pickup being reverse engineered by Fender who owned Guild at the time. The neck was also not quite to spec but not as wildly off as the bridge.To overcome the discrepancy in tone between the pickup positions I have had both pickups rewound by who have performed a number of these modifications on the Newark St pickups over the last few years. A video is online showing the pickups from this exact guitar being rewound . The cost of the rewind was £110 and the improvement has been huge with a much "warmer" tone and more accurate balance between bridge and neck positions.House move forces sale.
