Here's one that you don't see every day---maybe not every year. This is an American Guild from around 1986 or so. In the pointy-guitar world, I think you'd be hard-pressed to do better than this one.

This thing just oozes quality and craftsmanship, plays great, and sounds great. Appearance aside, functionally this is a really excellent P/J-configuration bass, that gets the full variety of tones you would expect. Plus, it is in amazing condition. Over 25 years old, and the paint is still intact on all the points! And, it comes with the original form-fitted hardshell case, which is important because good luck finding one to fit it.

However, because of the body shape, the case is substantially longer and wider than any bass case I've seen, which means it's bigger than any guitar shipping box I have access to. So, I'm offering it for local pick-up in Chicago. If you're in, around, or coming through Chicago and you appreciate the pointy-instrument aesthetic, this is your lucky day! This distinctive, collectible, top-quality American-made bass can be yours for a mere $650.

If you are from somewhere else and really want it, we can talk about shipping---I'll ship it for the actual cost, but I'll have to find some way to pack it. I'm open to suggestions.

Oh, it weighs approximately 8 3/4 pounds, give or take an ounce or two.

Don't let this one get away!

Had one of these and regret selling it. Ended up getting a Charvel Star in yellow from selling it though.



This is by far the cheapest one I have seen and in a lot better condition. Would get it if I had the extra funds but sadly can only trade right now. If you reconsidered trading let me know.
