I bought my first Guild about 6 or 7 months ago so I'm really not familiar with any of the models other than the one I have. I was wondering if any of you knowledgable folks could fill me in on the evolution of the Guild archtop's scale lengths and neck profile?
The Guild I have is an X-500 from 1982 I believe. The scale length on this guitar is 24.75 inches and the neck is a bit on the slim side of what I consider ideal for me. I prefer a 25.50 inch scale and a neck profile such as was standard for the older Gibson and Epiphone's of the post-war '40s and thru the '50s.
So my qustions are, did some of the earlier Guild's have the fuller neck profile and a 25.50 scale length?.......If so, which models and what years were they being made?......Would appreciate any help you can give me on this. Thanks.
