The Guild Blues 90 is the P-90 version of the Bluesbird, built in the late 1990s to 2000: a single-cutaway mahogany body with a figured maple top, a set mahogany neck, and a pair of soapbar P-90s. It has plenty of bark when you dig in and a round, vocal neck pickup when you back off.
This one has a great feel and plays great. It was just set up here in the shop and is playing beautifully. At 8 lbs 5 oz it is really well balanced on a strap or on the knee. The translucent red finish over the figured maple top shows only minor finish marks. As far as we can tell it is all original, except for locking strap pins that a previous owner added. It comes in its original Guild hardshell case with the Guild logo embossed on the lid, in good shape.
