Hey all, I've lurked the forum for a while, in anticipation of my first vintage guild, and finally landed one that I was looking for. I've had a Newark St Starfire, and it was ok. I even put Lollar 50's P90s in it, but just never bonded, so I sold it and waited....I'm constantly watching Reverb for a CE100 or T100 that's reasonably priced and with 2 pickups. I lost focus for a couple days around the New Year, and when I checked the other day, there it was, posted for 2days, with 3 offers in already. I just bought it at full price.
It's a '59 T-100D, single owner! I should be getting it later this week. It came from a vintage guitar store, and I've spoken with them a few times since the purchase, and it sounds like every aspect of the guitar is in order, except a couple of shrunken binding spots and headstock delamination. I'll probably be taking care of that myself, but will likely have some questions about that. I'll also likely put a Bigsby on, as I play a lot of Rockabilly, early Country, etc....Assuming the guitar is everything I hope it is, I'll certainly wait for the right one to come along, a Guildsby, perhaps.
Here's a pic from reverb, I'll give a full report when I get it
