This is a 1994 Guild Manhattan X-170, 100% original guitar with OHSC in Near Mint condition with a beautiful flamey top, back, sides, and back of neck. This guitar is super clean, with only slight wear on the pickguard, some tarnishing of the Gold hardware, and a mark or two around the headstock – that’s it. This guitar has no fretwear and really looks new. The case is as clean as the guitar. The Manhattan X-170 was made in the old Guild factory in Westerly, Rhode Island, and is an electric archtop hollowbody, single rounded cutaway, maple body, f-holes, 2 humbuckers, block inlays, gold hardware, floating bridge.
Specs:
Body size at lower bout:16 1/2" Scale length: 24 3/4" Nut width: 1 10/16" Body Depth: 2 1/2"
Materials: Arched flame maple top & back, flamed maple neck with mahogany stripe; rosewood fingerboard with block inlay; 3-ply body binding, bound fingerboard; Chesterfield peghead inlay.
Hardware: 100% original gold hardware, including harp tailpiece, Grover Rotomatic tuners; twin Guild Frequency Spectrum humbucking pickups. Original compensated rosewood bridge; beveled art deco stairstep pickguard.
Notes: Introduced in 1988, the Guild Manhattan X-170 is a thinline version of the venerable X-175 , which made its debut in 1954, a year after the firm opened its doors. With its wide body and contoured Venetian cutaway, the design of the Manhattan X-170 resembles that of the Gibson Byrdland or ES-350T, with the playability of a standard scale length neck.
This guitar has been inspected and perfectly set-up by Scott Freilich of Top Shelf Music: it needs nothing except for a new home.
