Up for sale, a 1977 Guild B-301 Fretless bass in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This uncommon Guild bass, only produced from 1977-81, features all-mahogany construction, a contoured body, solitary single coil pickup, and an unlined fretless slab rosewood fingerboard.
The mahogany construction results in fundamental warmth and midrange growl, and these qualities are faithfully captured by the stock single coil pickup. This pickup is punchy and detailed, with a nice balance of low end oomph and treble grind, offering a certain smoothness and percussive thud accentuated by the 48-104 groundwound strings. Weighing 8lbs 10oz, this B-301 Fretless has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with easy-playing action and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Mahogany (two-piece)
-Shape: Round C, measuring .880” at the nut, 1.025” at the octave
-Fretboard: Rosewood slab, unlined
-Scale Length: 34”
-Nut: 1.650” (42mm)
-Tuners: Schaller “Heavy-Duty”
-Serialization: Six-digit stamp dates to ‘77
Body Specs:
-Wood: Mahogany
-Pickups: Single coil x1
-Controls: Volume, Tone
-Harness: Stackpole pots date to the 49th week of ‘74
-Hardware: Solid brass toploader bridge (chrome-plated)
-Plastics: Four-ply black pickguard, reflector cap knobs
The gloss finish exhibits shallow buckle rash central to the back, some small dings along the perimeter, and just a couple faint marks on top near the bridge. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth to the palm, with some minor marks on the profile length.
A faux leather padded gigbag is included.
