I don't know much about them...Denis, didn't have a Guild or two or three?

Earlier Guild solid bodies were modelled after the EB-3. Then they created a line that looked more like Fenders. The one you are looking at followed those.

I love the look and even lost out on an Ebay auction or two. But when I finally tried one I found the neck to be way too chunky for my liking. But to put that into perspective, I also find P-bass necks too chunky.

Amen, no way it's worth that.  Unless someone is willing to pay that for it!   8)

Yeah, that one's been on my watch list for quite a while now. Not that I have any intention of buying it. I just love white basses, I like Guilds, and I've always been fascinated by the B-302. Great looker!

Had a B-301 last month for a few days.  Unfortunately it had a neck issue I couldn't fix without doing it harm so I sent it back.  But it sounded great and I loved the neck profile.  I'm on the lookout for an unmolested one.  That one would be tempting if it was a 301.
