my guitar center back home near my parents have this thing listed as a Guild S60DS ?

http://used.guitarcenter.com/usedgear/d ... =104866535

i googled that guitar number and came up with a shitload of nothing.

what the fuck is this thing?

they only want 499 for it. thats fucking cheap for any kind of old guild

it's definitely a variation of Guild's S*** line.

Probably from the early eighties. You're right, considering what old solidbody guilds are going for these days,
499 is probably a good bet, provided everything is where it should be.

You get more hits, if you drop the 's' at the end of the model number.
Otherwise, I just turn up hits for nintendo DS's

(some with the right switch/knob config apparently also s60d)

I think I like it, but couldn't imagine myself playing one.

Come to think of it, I came across something like these (not sure what model) a long time ago, at a used instrument shop. It played friggen nice, too. Was too expensive for me, at the time.

i like it, in an odd way

it's like how i feel about those ovation magnum basses, there's something about them that makes me like them.

I like that, too. It looks like what Count Dracula would play.
Shit desperately needs frets, tho.

Fretless ANYTHING, FTLLLLLLLLLL

I saw a band a while ago called bomb the music industry and the guy was playing one of these. I'll try and find the picture when I get home.

The guitarist from my old band back in the late 70's early 80's played a guitar verysimilar/same Guild.I thought it sounded shite through some big ass Peavy amp he had.He didn't use any effects.
He painted it camo

I love the way that looks, wonder what the neck feels like?

My buddy Jay that played in my band had the bass version. From what I remember it was nice and punchy sounding.
Sadly it was stolen a few years ago in NYC.
