Did Johnny Smith have *good taste* or what?

Christopher,
I wonder if some of our LTG experts can identify, the acoustic guitar. (I have no clue).

I do not know the model Johnny played in the photo, Tim.. I am eager to (hopefully, via this forum) discover what it is, though. I *do* know that Johnny had a "not-so-pleasant" affiliation with Guild over his (Guild-built) Johnny Smith Award guitar.

That's actually the cover of the 1955 Guild catalog, and the guitar must be an X500 Stuart. It could have been an X700 as well, but Guild didn't make them in 1955.
Nice link, Sandy. Do folks here actually own one of these? (more importantly, does anyone here actually have recordings of one of these -two corgis said:
