1958 T-100D "Slim Jim"
Hand-built in Guild’s historic factory in Hoboken, New Jersey, the T-100D is a vintage thinline fully hollow guitar. At the time, Gibson had the largest market share, with Gretsch not far behind. Guild was not making as many guitars, hence, the T-100D is a bit more rare. It was nicknamed the Slim Jim due to it’s ultra slim body. The Franz single-coil pickups have a punchy P90 vibe that can go from cool jazz tones to early rock raunch. The all laminate body was a decision based on standard construction for electric archtops at the time. Eliminating feedback and creating a structurally stable build were the two main reasons.
