I'm not sure, I think it's made in 1960 according to the serial no. 14051
can somebody confirm or correct me if I'm wrong ?
thanks already

Yep, 1960. (Truss rod cover is upside down, tho.)

Looks nice! Very clean.

Thanks for the replies !

so, I have this guitar for 12 years with the TRC uspide down, never needed to adjust the trussrod
I've been thinking of selling the T-50 and getting a solidbody Guild instead
can't make up my mind, the T-50 is not getting a lot of play, but every time I pick it up I am amazed at how easy it plays and how good it sounds ...

anyway, I always thought the T50s were produced from 1961 onwards to 1973
so the T-50 models were made from 1960 onwards ?

Hello Bieke,

Yes, your T-50 has a serial number from the very end of 1960, but the majority of instruments from that same batch were completed during the year 1961.
Actually your T-50 with serial # 14051 was completed on September 19, 1961, so that's quite some time after the date that the guitar did get it's serial # stamped into the back of its headstock.
