Guild Timbre Generator prototype #5 of 6 1972 Mutron

images via this auction
"This is a very rare prototype for a synthesizer system made for Guild by Mike Beigel and Izzy Strauss. Mike later went on to start Mutron and incorporated some of the circuitry in this unit into the Mutron III. This is #5 of 6 protypes made for Guild back in 1972. After Guild president Al Dronge was killed in a plane crash the company decided to drop the project. Mike still owns the other 5 units so this is the only one in the wild. This unit was actually thrown out at Guild a few years back after they were purchased by Fender." via Russ
