Hi all, thanks for this great resource! Have very swiftly fallen into the Guild bug since getting my first Hoboken-made hollowbody last year. Just here to share a new addition to the stable: 1960 T100, all original as far as I can tell, including the minuscule frets 
No case, but an old Macari's (London) gig bag from where it was bought in the 90s by the previous owner. Franz PUs and an absolutely stunning deep blond finish.
What looked like playwear on the neck and body turned out to be grime on top of grime… decades of sweat/dust/god knows what. Was in a very sorry state when I collected (eBay purchase without trying first – bit of a risk!). Stinky gig bag and filthy, so lots of light rubbing out of grime/marks; now need to get it apart and clean up all of the metalwork and pots etc.
Compared to my '64 T100 with Bigsby it's really a different beast. Super light, super woody and resonant. Even with the totally inappropriate Ernie Ball Slinkies that it came with it sounds very ES175-era Jim Hall. Thumpy, big and woody. 1 5/8" nut but deeper U shaped neck than the slimmer, wider 64. Very comfortable, and the mahogany feels great under the hand (very little nitro left on the back of the neck).
Looking forward to new frets (sorry, any purists reading this, but it needs to be played!), some flatwounds and a good setup. The Franz sound pretty high output to me, so perhaps they are the higher-output versions as opposite to the lower ones for the more 'jazz' hollowbodies? Incredible thick bridge tones. Big fan. All hail Guild!
