I am selling a new (NOS) Guild M-85 II GSR. The ones who know, know..... It’s such a fantastic player and has a monster sound! Extremely light with just 3 kilograms/ 6,6 lb.
Guild introduced a very special limited edition "Made in USA" run of the M-85 II Bass in 2013/14, which doubles the power and performance of its mid-'60s-style single-pickup precursor with two big Bi-Sonic pickups and especially elegant appointments. Because there is a little confusion in the messages, that I receive.... This is NO Guild Newark model, which are made in Korea!!! Here is an article from 2014 about the two models.. Very Limited Run - Only 25 producedPrice in 2014: $4,499
Cherry Red Hard-shell case included.
