Guild T-100D Model Thinline Hollow Body Electric Guitar (1966), made in Hoboken, NJ, sunburst lacquer finish, laminated maple body, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, original black hard shell case.
The T-100-D was one of Guild's 1960's stand-bys, a great bargain in a professional grade guitar with most of the features of the popular Starfire series at a slightly lower price. The thin 16" single-cutaway body is sunburst-finished maple with bound top and unbound back. The pickups are Guild's thin white plastic & metal covered single-coil units, nicknamed the "Mickey Mouse" pickup by the company's employees. The tailpiece is the standard Guild harp-shaped fitting paired with a compensated rosewood bridge.The bound mahogany neck has a dot-inlaid rosewood fingerboard and the headstock has the standard mid-60's Guild plastic overlay with "chesterfield" column inlay. This guitar has a brighter, snappier sound than the DeArmond or Humbucker equipped Starfires and is quite a versatile instrument, excellent for everything from country to garage-band rock. An excellent player and still a very good value in a 1960's vintage hollowbody guitar.
Overall length is 41 1/2 in. (105.4 cm.), 16 1/4 in. (41.3 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 3/4 in. (4.4 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.). 100% original, very clean with some very light wear overall...a little plating worn off the treble pickup cover, a few dings on the back edges. A very fine example with the original HSC, structurally fine but with a chunk of the covering torn on the bottom. Excellent + Condition.
