Hello all, I'm a new member; I signed up mostly to find out more info about the Guild X150 (for now, I'm interested in the model from the 1950's, but the late 1990's-early 2000's one looks good as well).
I've come across varying bits of information regarding the specs for the 1950's version of this guitar.
This ad for a 1954 says the scale length is 25 3/4", nut width is 1 3/4", width is 17"
Here's a current one for sale on eBay, here it says the scale length is 25 1/2"
Archtop.com shows a 1960 X150 as having a 25 3/4" scale length and nut width of 1 11/16"
Some other offers list the guitar as being 17" wide, some say 17.5".
Not too concerned about the nut width or the overall width, but I'm wondering about the scale length. I've got Telecaster with the 25 1/2" scale and that feels fine, but I'm not sure about 25 3/4". Is that really the scale length? Or perhaps a typo and it should say 24 3/4" (like a Gibson ES175, 125, etc.)
Looking to get one of these, but curious to learn more about them. Any comments welcome, thanks all.
