This is a Guild SB-604 Pilot 4-string that plays and sounds great and has the classic USA-made Pilot feel with active EMGs. For its age, it presents very well overall. It is vintage, so it may show minor cosmetic wear consistent with use, but nothing that affects playability or function.


Condition notes:

  • Minor paint/finish defects consistent with age
  • Small bump/mark on the headstock
  • Normal light scuffs/ and or scratches may be present, please zoom in on all photos

Neck / frets / playability:

  • Neck feels great and plays comfortably
  • Frets board show minor wear and it plays cleanly (Recently conditioned)
  • Truss rod functions as it should
  • No headstock repairs.
  • No neck pocket finish cracks. (see photos)

Hardware / electronics:

  • Black hardware looks good
  • Active EMG electronics work properly, controls and output are functioning normally

If you’re looking for a classic USA Guild Pilot SB-604 in an awesome blue finish with the original Guild hard case, this is a great addition to any collection.

Setup note:

Everyone has different setup preferences. It plays well as it sits, but if you prefer a different action/intonation, final adjustment would be the buyer’s responsibility.

Case:

The original Guild hard case is included. The interior is in really good shape and it protects the bass well. The exterior shows wear from age/use. It has a light “vintage smell"
