I bought this Guild in 1975 from the original owner. He had had it refinished by an ape. He was a nice old guy then and gave me a great deal. It plays like a dream, even with the little bit of banding that's loose. Since the refinish job was so bad the numbers are covered up. I still use it and she has been on many CDs and records. I think it is an x-175

The poor refinish job just gives it more character. If it were me, I would leave it the way it is.
Thanks Lloyd, I have thought about stripping the back of the headstock (but nothing else) to see the number if it is there. It is truly a beautiful playing and sounding guitar.
