For those jazz-minded Guild lovers, I ran across this video of the Jimmy Smith Trio live in Paris with guitarist Eddie McFadden. After noticing that Macfadden was playing an ES-175-style guitar, I watched until he was shown full-on, and lo and behold its a CE-100 Capri with a single Franz pickup that he plays. He takes a nice solo in the second tune, "Days of Wine and Roses".

Enjoy!

Did the CE-100 have a G shield?

Has a G on the headstock, plus the black stove knobs are from '56 to '59, per Hans.

Eddie gets warmed up about halfway through wine & roses then hits it strong for the rest of the show!

I think he's still alive!!

Cookin' stuff! I idolize Jimmy Smith. I steal some of his licks. 12-bar blues, baby!
