Hello, today I was looking for old things about The King of the Surf Guitar and I found a rare photo that has Dick Dale with another guitar, I do not remember the name of the model but if someone wants I can try to see where I found it to get more information. I remastered the photo for more details send me a private message.

That is a Guild Aristocrat, Model M-75. Hollowed out body with spruce top, light & resonant, with Franz pickups. One of my friends has one exactly like that in black. Late 50s I believe. These are killer guitars.
VG Mag had a writeup about these some time back - https://www.vintageguitar.com/3651/guild-aristocrat-m-75/

I've been on the lookout for some cool wall prints to jazz up my new place. Pictures like these make for a great addition to any decor, adding a touch of personality and nostalgia. While browsing online, I came across a website that offers a wide range of canvas prints. They have some really interesting options that can bring a unique vibe to any room.
