1969 Guild T50 Hollowbody Electric Guitar


Overview: Well, here's Guild's answer to the ES-125T. It's blonde, it's got a quick neck, it's got a clean-sounding single coil, and it's got the Guild "harp" tailpiece. It looks and handles like a champ. What more?


The tuners and bridge are unoriginal but it hardly matters. This thing is cool...


Repairs included: Sarah gave it a level/dress of the frets and setup. I lightly-modified the bridge base to give it more action adjustment room. It's playing spot-on and is ready to go.

Condition notes: For those wanting to optimize acoustic volume, I would suggest swapping to a rosewood, aluminum, or bone saddle-topper as-compared to the adjustable unit that's on it. As noted, this bridge is a replacement and the tuners (Schaller) are as well. There are light scratches and scuffs here and there in the finish throughout and weather-checking as well.


It comes with: It's got an older case.
