That is NOT an FA100, but a 2355m from 1975 or earlier with an open book headstock. The last minty one Harry, Tristan and I were hunting for went for EUR 1110.- which is now $1568.10

The FA100 has a different tailpiece, Smooth-Tuner II machine heads, an ebonized fretboard with block inlays instead of a plain rosewood with double parallelogram inlays

The 2355 and 2355m existed as real lawsuit models AND post-lawsuit models, and the FA100NT was only available with a post-lawsuit headstock (Guild tulip headstock), because it was a successor introduced in 1978.

Both models have chrome covered Super 70 pickups.
The sound will be the same.
