late 50s Aristocrat? Brendan Benson

[Aestus]

Anybody know what Guild Brendan Benson (solo & The Raconteurs) plays? Looks like it might be an Aristocrat (with a master volume added?)

Hello Aestus,

That's correct! Probably a '59 model with a master volume added.

Sincerely,

Thanks Hans! I did a little more digging and found what is apparently a song gear list provided by Benson in which he lists a '59 Guild Aristocrat. So, it looks like you are correct about the date.

Update of an old post with photos dug up on Google.

Apparently Jack White isn't the only one in the Raconteurs who favors vintage guitars.
