Per request, I wanted to share photos/info about a 1973 T-100DSb I've just purchased. It's a true "under-the-bed" guitar, bought new by a lovely gentleman (now 60) in 1973 from an Accordion Store in Somerville, MA. It's pretty much never been played, has the original strap, case, hang-tags, etc. The interesting thing about it is the pick-ups, which are stamped Guild, and have the solder tabs, but are Humbuckers with hexagonal pole pieces. Hans Moust was kind enough to inform me that these were used briefly by Guild, and considering the guitar is the last model year, perhaps they were trying to beef up the sound/stay current with current fashion. Of note is that the pick-up holes were hand-cut and not routed. Anyway, here's some pics, happy to answer questions.
