Check out the 1996 Guild X-700 Stuart that is already on "hold" at archtop.com. Beautiful maple flame on this guitar!

My X700 had the best amplified sound of any archtop I've ever played. Unfortunately, the 1 & 5/8 neck just killed me when I played big band. Nothing was even close soundwise when I did trio, quartet or larger. I'll get depressed if I talk about the sound in a duo with a singer. Someday we'll find a 1 & 11/16 neck one (after I recover from my divorce).

8) That one looks set to become somebodys pride and joy.
Very nice just to look at, I can only imagine the sound.

Yep, that's beautiful!
A correction: if S/N is correctly listed at Archtop.com as AK700011, then it's the 11th one made and a first year (1994) model, not a '96. (I have #16, which is still a '94)
This one's really yellowed a lot and looks great!
Actually looks very much like mine: same rediculously flamed piece of wood for the neck, coupled with somewhat plainer back and sides and an insanely tight-grained top.

Great score, UpNorth!! Yes, pics please!
That's quite an entrance to LTG! Welcome!

Yeah, if that # is correct, you've got the 11th one off the line and a first year 1994 model for sure. Here's some shots of #16 (mine) which have been around the block a few times:
I have a feeling you will love your new guitar!
Also, unless I'm mistaken, you now have the earliest example among members here.
That's a beauty, kakerlak! Love the flamey neck!

Hey kakerlak, if you ever get tired of that guitar of yours that appears to have defective wood on the back, sides and neck I will take it off your hands as all of those markings don't bother me that much :mrgreen:

Working when the guitar is out for delivery? You should be ashamed! :mrgreen: looking forward to pictures and a review!
Hi Guild fans! New member here.
On a whim I was browsing for Guilds and rediscovered this place. I used to have a '65 T100D and lurked here a time or 2 to learn more about it. It's gone now, but I'll post a few pics of the one I kept since viewers of this thread may find them interesting!
What a guitar!
Hope I haven't breached any protocols. Mark.
