Vintage 1963 Guild Custom - Ordered Electric Tenor Guitar

Up for sale is a Guild electric tenor guitar built in 1963 in Hoboken, NJ. This tenor is actually not based on a standard Guild model, though all its various features (save for the reduced number strings) can be found elsewhere in the 1963 Guild lineup. The thinline body is that of a Starfire II or III, and is similar to that of a T-100 except for the binding on the back. The block fret markers appear to derive from a CE-100. The pickups are unique 4-pole versions of Guild’s own sing...le-coil units introduced the year this guitar was built and commonly found on solidbodies and a few archtops. The label identifies it as a "Tenor Special". The guitar has a 24.75" scale - longer than usual for a tenor, but still quite playable. Everything is original except the bridge, which is a modern replacement. The guitar is clean, with only minimal wear, and the single-coil pickups sound great. It comes with its original hard case, originally designed for a Starfire.
Please note that there is no international shipping for this guitar.
