I bought this guitar about 20 years ago from Adirondack Guitars. I was told that it was built by one of the original luthiers / employee at Guild Rhode Island?
Agreed, the pickups look "old". But the gold plating was very thin only and it was easy to polish or rub it off.I’ve had the guitar for about 20 years so when I acquired it the pickups would have been less than 10 years old, however they seemed pretty aged and worn even when I bought it
The f-holes are definitely different.It'd be interesting to put this back-to-back with a right-handed X-170 and see how close the body outlines are.
Thanks for the side-by-side, Ralf! Looks like the cutaway is a little more elegant/pleasing on OP's guitar, too, but they're definitely close. What's the story on the double-wide bridge on that photo you scrounged up?The f-holes are definitely different.
