  • 1986 Guild Nightbird Project

    Got this feathered friend at a local pawn shop , the wiring was buggered up, gone was the phase switching, and split
    P/U capability. Replaced SD 59 in neck as it was only 2wire,and SD Invader in bridge position ,as it was way too
    hot for the birds hollowbody. Replaced neck with 4 wire
    SD JAZZ, and being primarily a Strat player i selected the 4 wire SD STAGMAG for the bridge. Now I can select each Humbucker with the 3 position switch, change phasing with the mini toggle, and split both humbuckers to create a single coil sound with the push-pull switch/tone pot,just
    as George Gruhn intended.
    This odd combination of P/U's has worked out well .

          Great axe. have a bluesbird wth a pair of Burstbuckers. Guild makes really solid guitars. Good luck with it.

                Did you get a great deal on it at the pawn shop? Looks to be in great condition!

                          Thanks for the kind words. This bird is a keeper. You can still find good deals on Guilds.

                            I played a Guild Explorer from the mid 80s that was just a blast to play.

                              Believe me when I say that some of the most amazing music in history was made on equipment that's not as good as what you own right now.
