Guild’s electric models, like it’s acoustics, sometimes had names with a fairly exotic, European flavor. It’s mid-1950s archtops included the Granada and Capri, both were 16 3/8 inches wide, and just under 3 inches deep. But when Guild introduced a shallower version of the Capri in 1958, it chose a more informal label, the “Slim Jim”.

The instrument was described as “light in weight and easy to handle”. Two versions were available: the T-100 had a single pickup, while the the T-100D had two transducers and a fancier, “harp”-style tailpiece. Both models had a Florentine cutaway, and were made from laminated maple.

The T-100D has been described as having “that lovely Rockabilly sound” of the 50’s.
