Since this was bumped. There are definitely differences between the guitar in the ad, and the production Premiers I've seen. But I'm not sure what else would be in a Sorkin ad.Which would have been built by United Guitar Corp. in Jersey City, N.J..
But look at the fancy unusual binding and an even more unusal neck with rectangle block inlays on that scroll model.
The Premier model had a sqare fretboard end. And that pickguard without controls is also special, so not sure we look at a floating pickup here, that is something else there we see. Look at that horn, that is not the Premier scoll size. So I think we need to think about a different guitar model here. It seems to be a deeper probably hollow body archtop? I have no idea what it could be.

Hello vmurphy,
Welcome! No reason to be shocked really; the guitar had to be somewhere. I would call it a nice surprise to hear some details about the history of your guitar. And as I stated in my earlier posting, it was a repair from Herbert's store and it's not sure that it was Herbert's personal guitar.
Sincerely,

Welcome to LTG, vmurphy!
Hans, Thanks for the reply and for writing the Guild book. 14000, was refitted with De Armond pickups. I wonder if this was done at the time (hard to say I know) It is a well used guitar.
Thanks Again,
Vincenzo
