It's definitely from the '60s. That block logo alone.
I want to say T150? It looks amazing and welcome to the LTG.
this is a great story!
I bet this Guild sounded incredible on hymns.

CE100-D or T100D.
Thank you! I'll check some of those out. The only thing throwing me off is the knobs! I thought they only put those blank/clear ones on '53-'58 models. Glad to be here!

I would go with Default's answer above, I am more an acoustic only player
he said a T100, something like that. Keep checking back here, someone will nail it down shortly.

If you're unaware, Hans' answer trumps all. He literally wrote the book on Guid guitars.

That would be GREAT grandfather's Guild.
Awesome! I hope everything still works and there are no serious issues with it.

What a great hand-me-down!
Is anyone else surprised at the brass (?) bridge? I would have expected a wooden one for this guitar, without a Bigsby.

Could easily be a replacement. Depends on the sound you want.
