Guild Experts Required! (Guild T-50)

[serizawa]

This model Guild has caught my attention as a cheap one locally has come up.

I can't check it out any time soon, but I'm still wondering how the width of the guitar is at it's widest point. I'm wondering if it's close to Gretsch's 16 inch width.

Hope it isn't, though. I'm kind of a small guy.

They are close to the Gretsch width...thats a pretty standard size for archtops...

Looks like a 16", like an Epi Century with a thinner body. Does it have the Franz P90? A cool little pickup...

I'm not sure, really. It's an old guitar and I can't find any old catalogs online that'd help me really find.

I've seen it described as a thinline, so I figured that may or may not affect its width?
