Description

Embrace the vintage allure with the Guild T-50 Slim, a reincarnation of the classic mid-1960s thinline hollowbody guitar. Authenticity is the name of the game with this instrument, boasting an arched maple back, sides, and top, all swathed in a sunburst finish that harks back to rock's golden era. But what sets the T-50 Slim apart is its thin 1.9" body depth, a design choice that, in tandem with the SB1-F single-coil pickup, delivers a sound profile that is as distinctive as it is reminiscent of the original T-50.

In terms of playability, the thinline hollowbody design offers a comfortable playing experience without compromising the rich, overtone-laden sound that only a hollowbody can provide. This guitar's neck is constructed from two pieces of mahogany, a choice that guarantees strength and rigidity to withstand the test of time. The soft U shape of the neck adds to the vintage feel and ensures comfortable playability.

Key Features:

  • Non-cutaway hollowbody guitar with arched all-maple body based on a mid-1960s T-50 model
  • Thin 1.9" body depth optimized for amplification
  • Classic Guild harp tailpiece for stable tuning
  • Iconic center-raised headstock and ivory binding for a vintage look
  • Low-output SB1-F single-coil dog-eared pickup for a warm, versatile sound
  • Vintage playing feel from the soft U-shaped neck

Guitarist Magazine Reviews the Starfire IV ST and the T-50 Slim | Guild Guitars

guildguitars.com

The Guild T-50 Slim gets a solid nod in Guitarist Magazine's review, praised for its bold acoustic presence and versatile DE-1F single-coil pickup. The aesthetics shine with a vintage-inspired look that's both visually striking and true to Guild's legacy. Although it received a modest 7/10 rating, the review highlights its excellent build quality and the value offered, especially with a hard-shell case included. Ideal for rhythm guitarists and slide enthusiasts, it fits the niche of non-cutaway guitars, now in vogue, while delivering a balanced tone and stylish appeal. A great addition to Guild's Newark Street range, the T-50 Slim should not be overlooked.

Guild Newark Street T50 Slim review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Guild T-50 Slim is a visually captivating guitar that delivers a rich, vintage jazz vibe with its stunning finish and character. Well-suited for rhythm players, it boasts a punchy single-coil pickup and a comfortable slim neck. However, the modern neck profile might not appeal to vintage enthusiasts, and its design is not optimized for lead playing. Overall, it's a great choice for rhythm-focused musicians seeking a stylish, acoustically bold instrument.

My dream electric!

This one has been my dream electric for a long time and it just had to be. Matt Corby, Grizzly Bear and Aidan Knight play it and their sound has really influenced me a lot. Now since 2015 you don't have to look around for an expensive 60's model anymore, because they are building a vintage model. Just the thing for me, because I'm not that much into 50 years old guitars anyway.

If you get an old one that's been cared for they really are very nice. My 1st grownup guitar was a Guild Starfire 1 from the 60s in that great greenish-burst... well cared for apart from some unavaoidable lacquer checking. The new guilds from korea or wherever do not hold up to the standard of that guitar. I wanted them to because I miss it and woulda liked to find an affordable starfire 2 or 4 to replace her, but the new ones are just okay.

Great guitar. Value for money.

The p90 pickup sound amazing. The feel and the tone is absolutely stunning. And the look is killer.
