Guild M-85 Bass, Black Overview
The Guild M-85 has a great vintage look and tone that will suit players looking for some retro thump. The compact body doesn't diminish its sound- the M-85 sounds BIG! This is largely due to the Guild BiSonic pickup and the M-85's semi-hollow construction. The arched maple back and sides and arched spruce top add warmth and resonance, while its three-piece mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard is super comfortable to play thanks to its soft U profile. The M-85 is short scale at 30 3/4", making it ideal for players with smaller hands. Other features include gorgeous ivory white binding, classic Guild logo, Grover tuning machines and an included hardcase.Call GAK now for product info, advice and the Best Prices - 01273 665400
