It's doing well!
Because of the lack of an arm, and belly cut I don't play it much but it's a great early example of a Pilot.
There's actually 3 of us from RI in this thread...how rare!!!
I still can't believe there are 4 string JJ Pilots out there....that's one reason I like this site. I see cool stuff.
Hallo everyone...
So, what would you say if I told you that it may very well be possible to buy brand new Guild Pilot basses again "soon"...? ;-)
Would you buy one (or more) and, how would you like it - color, hardware, etc...?
Mahogany body with a top!! I’m in. My mahogany bodied pilot needs a friend!!
Well, I specifically asked for a 4 string Advanced Pilot to original specs...
I've got to decide between a 2 piece quilted maple body with a trans color or a mahogany body with an 80's-inspired paint job - would have to make up my mind about which one, though...I have three in mind...

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy one on the used market? No waiting?
I like the Westerly, RI Guilds...doubtful they would or could produce Guilds there anymore. I wouldn't be interested in a re-pop.

I'm in Europe, not easy to find such a rare bass here...I have tried unsuccessfully to buy 2 Advanced Pilots from the US - don't get me started, lol...
I would live to buy one from a grown-up owner who is willing and able to ship to Europa - do you know anyone...?
A "re-pop" - even a CS version - would be just fine with me if the materials and build quality is top...
she started her life as a white painted pilot pro4 that has a guild pilot serial number and not a pro4 serial number. I have the pro 4 fretted neck still. Swapped for a fretless neck off one of my friends pilots.
when me and my buddy went to get it from a pawn shop I knew immediately it was mahogany. The wear mark on the pickup was through the paint and I could see all the glorious mahogany underneath. So we stripped it and this is how she looks now.
That's super cool, would love one...with frets.
we still have the fretted neck. I just love the way this mahogany body sounds fretless.
