Welcome to LTG and thanks for sharing your cool A-50!

my 1959 Guild A50 Cordoba.

Hello William,

Welcome! Is it written up as a Cordoba? That would be early, because during 1959 the official model designation was still A-50 Granada!

That's a page from a later catalog. During 1959 the guitar was still called the Granada A-50.

If you give me the serial number of your A-50 I should be able to tell you what year it is from?

That makes it a '59 Guild Granada A-50. Doesn't make any difference; just a little detail that historians find interesting!

Thank you, always good to clarify. I'm glad to have some history on this fine guitar.
