I am selling a Guild M-85 II GSR in excellent condition There is one blemish seen in my last picture. The nitro finish separated at the seam on the bass side of the headstock. It is in the finish only and not into the wood. I have Guild case for a Starfire bass that I am including. The bass actually fits in the case well and will certainly be good for shipping and future transport. I have a picture of the case in my last photograph. It’s such a fantastic player and has a monster sound! Contact me for possible shipping options. 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
Here is a link about the bass when it was new:
