Hans, wondering if you have seen, played or have info on the Guild Solomaster ( Travis guitar ) Did they have a thin neck and what PU's were used. Don't think there are many around. Thanks.

Guild Merle Travis SoloMaster

Hello thumbpicker,

Yes, I'm familiar with the Guild Merle Travis SoloMaster. Over the years I've seen three and they were all different.
Not sure what you mean with a thin neck but they all had necks that were similar to the ones on the other electric archtops from that particular period. There's a little info on the model in my book ( The Guild Guitar Book - The Company and the Instruments, 1952-1977 ) and you might enjoy this link as well.
