    I wish they'd reissue the two pickup version!
    That would sell a bunch!

    Well it looks like the two pickup version will soon be available again. Check out that post on the Guild facebook page:

    Lollipop tuners first appeared on Jazz basses in '65 and precision / Telecaster basses in '67. They were made in house. There was also a smaller version on short scale basses around the same time (Coronados and Mustangs). Fender discontinued them in '68. Very hard to come by.

    Any Blue Basses Out There?

    How spooky! And you've kept ashtrays on too! What year is yours?

    It's an early '66 (late '65 neck and pots, Jan 66 pickups), all original including LPB finish. Yours looks like a pre-CBS in pretty awesome shape. Is it a '63 or '64?
    Btw I read you're into disco and funk so you're probably aware of that local story: in 1975 a couple of American session musicians who’ve known each other for year finish a gig at local chicken-in-a-basket venue The Heart Of The Midlands after backing up an unknown soul singer, and wind up chatting in the Bentinck Hotel (next to the train station in Nottingham}, after one of them’s had his wallet nicked. On the spot, they decide to form their own band. Their names? Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. The band? Chic. True story.
