Guild T100-D, serial number EE-2791 which places it from 1967.  It has Guild's "Mickey Mouse" pickups, which are slightly higher output than the older Franz pickups and sound fantastic.  Frets, fretboard, electronics, tuners - everything is in great condition.  I bought it a few years ago during a huge A.A. Bondy obsession, and this guitar captures that sound perfectly.  Everything appears to be original (note: it has a tune-o-matic bridge, mounted on rosewood - which seem less common than the rosewood bridges of the era - which is better or worse is a matter of preference, though).  Comes with a hardshell case (case is NOT original).Full disclaimer: This is an old guitar, and it doesn't appear to have ever been refinished, though kept in overall great condition.  So, there are some dings and chips in the finish.  The front and back faces of the guitar are immaculate, with one tiny exception near the edge/above the top f-hole (shown in the pictures... it's tiny).  Other than that, usual strap wear at some of back edges (also shown in pictures).  I bought this without the pickguard.  However, I hate the look of pickguards, so took one off another Guild guitar from the same era that fits pretty well and will come with this guitar (pictured).  Also, it's currently set-up for 13-gauge flatwounds (which are archtop and era appropriate), Thomastik-Infeld's Swing series, but though the set-up is great as-is, you *might* want to tweak it if you'd rather use a lighter gauge and/or roundwounds.  No returns, but it will be insured for loss/damage.  If you have any special shipping requests, please contact me before buying.It really is a great guitar, and I hope it goes to a great home.  Thanks!
