Hello Friends,
My name is Teddy and I'm a new member.
Can anyone tell me when Guild began making the various changes in the shape of the bodies on the Artist Award, A-500 and 350's, etc from the really unique shape in the 1950's to the modern shape we see today. It looks like the first changes on the AA happened sometime in the early-mid '60's, and happened again in the 1970's (I think).
That original 1950's shape is my absolute favorite of all the manufacturers during that period. It's the only archtop guitar that has fit the contours of my body perfectly when sitting down and is extremely comfortable to hold sitting down. I'm casually looking for a '50's A-500 or 350. If I could find an AA from that era for a good price that might be the ticket....or perhaps an AP AA.
Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts or further information I'd love to read it!
Have a great weekend,
TeddyG
