It also had a chunk of lead fastened to the 'tailblock' area to help it balance." and "The body became deeper once the Fishman slider preamp was used."

The Songbird was designed for Guild guitars by George Gruhn (my old boss!). It’s kind of the best of both worlds!

The second fret on the high E string has a slight buzz which could be resolved with a fret dress. The frets show quite a bit of use and play wear, but the guitar plays great with low action up and down the fingerboard. This guitar has been played extensively and it definitely shows! The neck profile is a very comfortable “C” shape with a 1 11/16" nut width and it feels great in hand. This 1992 Westerly, Rhode Island, built Guild Songbird is in good cosmetic condition showing multiple dings, scratches and signs of play wear throughout (see photos).
