This example has the rarer full 24 3\/4\" scale neck; many M-65's found today are the 3\/4 model with a short-scale fingerboard. Despite its diminutive body, the guitar is surprisingly full sounding, incredibly light, and very comfortable to handle. The single-coil pickup is fairly bright sounding, making for a less dark-toned instrument than many fully hollow body instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis sunburst top example was made in early\/mid1967, not long before Guild began the move from their Hoboken factory to Rhode Island. It sports typical period features including the small \"Mickey Mouse\" single-coil pickup in a metal frame, Guild harp tailpiece, height-adjustable rosewood bridge with metal feet and Japanese-made strip tuners. This one has one quirk: a \"Starfire\" marked truss rod cover, which we have seen on other \"non-Starfire\" Guilds from this period when parts substitutions were quite common. The full-scale M-65 is one of Guild's cool but often under-appreciated designs, a super light and handy electric guitar and a neat piece of vintage Guild coolness.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 39 9\/16 in. (100.5 cm.), 13 3\/4 in. (34.9 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 2 1\/16 in. (5.2 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 3\/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11\/16 in. (43 mm.). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is just a super clean and 100% original guitar, which looks to have hardly been played at all. It shows just very light handling marks, and plays and sounds just as it should. This M-65 still resides in its original heavy-duty chipboard case which has just a wee a bit more wear than the guitar but is still completely solid and functional. This is a great vintage Guild package right out of the time machine! Excellent + Condition.","brand":"Guild","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853359665292,"sku":"9419","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_2bbcb2f3-8bca-4a9a-8f87-8aaf33383ba1.jpg?v=1774335881","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/guild-m-65-sb-thinline-hollow-body-electric-guitar-1967-9419","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
