The Bluesbird reflects Guild's return to yet another historic solid body model. Originally released in 1970 as the solid body counterpart to the M-75 Aristocrat, the Bluesbird was subject to a few design changes over the decades. Today's reissue features a carved maple top and maintains many of the aesthetic traits of the M-75 Bluesbird of the late 60s. Its lightweight chambered mahogany body allows for improved resonance and unparalleled comfort, making this guitar one of the lightest in its class. The Bluesbird features a 24 ¾ Inch scale, and fast-playing vintage C shaped neck. While many of the Bluesbird's specifications remain faithful to the original model, today's updated version comes equipped with USA-made Seymour Duncan pickups, as well as a Tone Pros locking tune-o-matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece to offer the most versatile version of this guitar to date. Grover Sta-Tite tuning machines.
