Guild release new S-200 T-Bird – the highly anticipated reintroduction of one of its most iconic, uniquely recognizable guitars: the Guild Thunderbird. This reissue is a replica of the original versions produced between 1964 and 1968…
The Guild S-200 T-Bird features an asymmetrical all-Mahogany body sure to catch the eye of the guitarist looking to blaze his or her own trail. However, this guitar’s appeal isn’t just about its looks – its unique controls create the widest array of tones offered on any Guild instrument, drawing on its dual Guild LB-1 Little Bucker pickups to achieve almost every conceivable color on the palette.
The T-Bird features a vintage C shape set Mahogany neck and bound Rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlays. Other period-correct details include open gear vintage tuning machines, and famed asymmetrical headstock adorned with Guild’s logo and mother-of-pearl Thunderbird icon. The S-200 T-Bird is available in Antique Burst or Black.
