Information about this model from GAD dot net and the Let's Talk Guild forum:First introduced in 1981 or so, they stayed in the Guild line-up until 1985 with a total of almost 1800 guitars produced. This is a short scale guitar with a 24-fret unbound ebony fretboard. 110″ wide by .03″ high jumbo frets. The guitar is 6lbs 6oz or 2.9 kilos. This is a very well-made guitar as are most all Guilds from the Westerly era. The set-neck joint is very solid, the parts are high-quality, and the over all feel is excellent. The model is renowned for its build quality, lightness, and sustain.
