Guild Pilot came out in the 80's

Reissued by Fender Korea as DeArmond in late 90's early 2000's

original had Bartolini pick ups.

V versions where JJ, IV's P + J

fast neck, versatile gigging bass. The reissue V is serious bang for bucks. Excellent make/fit and B string is strong and 'in tune'.

sorry to correct, but here are some additional infos:
guild pilots were made from 1983-1995, the first 2 years with pickguard and splitcoil in p-bass position. from 1985 without pickguard and reverse splitcoil. standard body woods have been poplar with full colour finishes and maple with transparent finishes. slim maple necks with rosewood and maple fretboards, standard pickups have been active emg's. optional bartolini and dimarzio were available. also a "highend" version with necks with binding and blocks has been available. 1994/5 the pilot pro 4/5 were had emg with BTC and more shaped bodies. the 5-stringers can be very good, but usually will work great with a tapered b-string. the 4 string versions had been available as j/j (very rare), p only (rare) and p/j models (standard). the 5er only with j/j. the dearmond reissues can't really compete with the originals, build quality and pickups are not the same quality. I had 2 orignals and 1 dearmond and today 2 modded pilots sb-602 are my main 4-string gigging basses. :ph34r:

duffs pilot has a custom finish and custom block inlays. but during the 80s and 90s guild had a lot weird hair metal finishes a special runs.
