Guild fans, help me identify a guitar please!

This semi hollow Ian Felice is playing. I've looked around and while I guess its some Starfire variant I can't find one exactly like it with the single (and Im guessing single coil?) pickup and that tailpiece.

If anyone could tell me what it is so I can add it to my Reverb watch list would be much appreciated!

CE-100 or T100 probably

You can see it better in this video. It looks like a T-100 Slim Jim to me (big brother of the T-50 Daniel Rossen plays in Grizzly Bear), but Brad is right that it could be a CE-100 too. Vintage Guild models have a lot of overlap and can be confusing.

It's definitely a T-100. Thin body, no biding on the back and lack of chesterfield inlay on the headstock (on the late version).

Thanks guys!

Know nothing about Guild really but im now on the lookout for a late '60s T100!

Something worth mentioning for OP - these "mickey mouse" pickups are pretty wiry/treble forward, and in my opinion the neck position pickup is the only place these sound good. The bridge pickup on a T-100D is essentially useless because it's so harsh, so I'd look specifically for a T-100, not a T-100D (although I sort of regret not buying the black T-100D I was watching for a couple months on Reverb).

Daniel Rossen gets a great sound out of his T-50, and this is essentially just a cutaway version of that guitar.

This. Honestly, I'd look for one of these (either a T-100 or T-50) with one of the Frantz pickups - I owned a T-50 with a Mickey Mouse for a while and found it pretty lackluster. Also beware that some of these old Guilds (especially late 50s, early 60s ones) are desperately in need of neck resets. Hard to beat the quality and craftsman ship though, they're fantastic instruments.

If you're open minded about models, check out an X-50, which is basically the same as the above but deep body non-cutaway. A bit more inspiring when played acoustically, and the late 50s ones have the Frantz pickups.

Hope this helps.
