Hello,
Hereby I write my first post on this forum.
I -a humble bedroom player- already have a few korean made Guilds and they are really great. I am interested in owning an hollow body American made Guild one day . However these guitars are becoming more and more expensive. Recently I saw a beautiful near mint Guild x 170 from 1987 at a reasonable price. Would this be a good choice for playing blues and rock ? The guitar is now strung with flatwounds but I suppose fitting roundwounds will be not be a problem after swapping the bridge ( plaing ). And I suppose this is just a matter of dropping it into place ? Also would adding a bigsby be possible without problems ? Are the pickups on this guitar 4 wire pu ?
I Hope I do not annoy this community with my questions.
Greetings,
Denis from Belgium.
