Description
The Bluesbird Reintroduction by Guild
A Mid-1980s Guild solid-body Bluesbird variant reintroduced after the classic M-75 Bluesbird series.
It is visually and structurally similar to the earlier M-75 S Bluesbird, but it features different pickup configurations and electronics.
It was a transitional/bridge model between the classic M-75 Bluesbirds and later Bluesbird reissues of the 1990s onward , not a direct continuation of the vintage M-75 naming, which is why its catalog listing is generally just “Bluesbird Reintroduction.”
