About Bill Ruxton Expertise What kind of old guitar do I have? Is it valuable? How old is it? Where was it made? Is it worth repairing? Advice on buying new or used guitars, accessories, etc. [Note: While I can give some general info on approximate values of types of instruments, neither I nor anyone else can do an "appraisal" without actually seeing and handling the instrument] I have almost 40 years` experience as a player and afficianado. If I don`t have an answer myself, I can often refer people to other authoritative sources.

my name is andrew desrosiers. i designed the bladerunner in 1982 and manufactured it under the name crusader. the company name was david andrew guitars. we could not make enough of them to keep up with demand so we licensed it to guild guitars. it was doing well but fender bought guild and discontinued all of guilds electric guitar line

The Blade Runner was designed by two guys from the Boston ares one of who handled some of Guild PR or photos or something. They had the real high, fat frets that are good for metal and were originally finished in white with day-glow pink, green, yellow and blue cutouts. There must have been other colors also because there were black decals for the white one and I also have some white decals as well. A note about there popularity; Joe Perry is playing an all black one in the Walk This Way video they did with Run DMC.
