This may be the earliest incarnation of the pointy headstock Pilot basses. It even has a decal that just says 'Guild" without the 'Pilot' designation. It's finished in all-black with a matching bolt-on neck & rosewood fretboard. Of course it features a 9-volt preamp and active EMG pickups. The bass is very clean but there is a bit of finish checking down near the back plate as well as a slight raised area next to the control cavity. But these cosmetic flaws hardly take away for the looks and playability of the bass! Soon a large portion of my Pilot collection will come up for sale so please be patient! Weighs only 8 1/2 lbs and includes a hardshell case.
