The X-150 is a full hollowbody guitar. The x-170 is a little thinner in depth and has a small block under the bridge that connects the top to the back of the guitar to reduce feedback issues. I believe the X-160 is similar to the X-170, but I have not ever played one.

I believe the 160 Rockabilly is the same depth as the 150 and has no feedback block. There was an earlier 160 that was basically a plain 170 but I don't know about the feedback block on it. So if the 160 has the DeArmond pickups, it is a deep body.

The Non Rockibilly X160, X160T which for some years labeled X161 DOES have the feedback resistant Sound Post wooden block under the bridge.

Thanks guys. Just toying with picking up a full hollow jazz box that's not too big. Maybe with just one pickup, suspended or inset. Maybe two. I may sell my F-20 to fund it. The duo thing I'm doing now has a need for a non piezo tone sometimes. My little Songbird could work , I have an added soundhole pickup in it. Pretty middy sound on piezo, need to try that I guess. The x-150 etc are tempting. I have too many acoustics anyway!

I'm wondering if you found an X150. I love mine and I think they're very well-priced USA made lam Maple jazz guitar. I have 'fancier' guitars but this has been my main gigging guitar for years and I've taken very good care of it. However, I just bought an Guild X170 sight unseen for the thinner body due to some shoulder pain. If I like the X170 as much, I would let the X150 go pretty cheap. I'm also in the PNW (Port Townsend).
