1979 Guild X-175 Manhattan HH Electric Archtop - Blonde
The Guild X-175 Manhattan HH is a distinctive guitar known for its unique design and sound. It features a semi-hollow body, which helps create a warm, resonant tone suitable for various styles, particularly jazz, blues, and rock. The "HH" designation indicates it has two humbucker pickups, offering a fuller, richer sound compared to single-coil pickups.
The X-175 is often praised for its playability and aesthetic appeal, with elegant curves and high-quality finishes. It typically comes with features like a floating bridge and stylish binding, making it not only a functional instrument but also a visual standout.
This Natural-finished example from 1979 is in stellar condition, with none of the binding rot typical of this era of Guild, and only minor playwear and finish checking that belie its 45 years of age! Includes HSC.
