Hi all.
Stumbled upon this on Reverb
Always been a big fan of the X500 series but looking at the neck on this one, the join at the body seems rather old fashioned.
Picture 7 shows the top plate binding only a few mm's lower than the neck binding. Sort of like how Gibson used to set their necks low to the top.
Is that standard on this model and era?
And am I making myself clear as to what I'm trying to point out?
Cheers!

Guild X-500 Ebony Special 1966 - Ebony | Reverb UK
This is a beautiful one-of-a-kind Guild X-500, made in the USA in 1966. The X-500 was one of Guild's top of the line models, and this example has a custom ebony finish. It is a really beautiful instrument that plays and sounds fantastic. Everything is original except that it has been refretted...
