60's Capris are one of the best electric guitar deals out there. You still see them for very reasonable prices, and they're great sounding, playing, well built guitars.

The Newark Street CE100 has been discontinued btw.

That explains why Rocky at Street Sounds has been blowing them out at $649.

I picked up a 65 with a headstock repair for not much more than a NS. It's in transit.

You snagged that GC one? We looked hard at it for my oldest. Curious how well the repair was done.

Yeah, I was weak. We'll see how bad it is when it shows up. Ugly guitars need lovin' too, I guess.
Good for you, Steve! Mine is my favorite Guild. I've had a few guitars with headstock repairs, and they always seem to be more resonant. My first CE-100D had a super stable headstock repair.

I keep getting tempted to replace the Franzes on my T-100D with a set of NOS reissue Dynasonics I have and install the Franzes into my '65 CE-100D.

The X-175 has a body more like an X-500: 17” bout and laminated spruce top. The CE-100 is 16” bout and laminated maple tip. I currently have a 1982/83 X-175 and once had a 66 CE-100D (my first Guild... wish I still had it).

I don't know if you can do that without the cutouts for the minibuckers showing. They are wider than the Franzes. Matsickma noted that the DeArmonds are extremely close to the minibucker size. I have a set of reissue Franz and DeArmonds, so I will be able to tell when she shows up.

whats the difference to an X-175 beside the cutaway?

Capri's body is all maple and quite a bit smaller and less deep than the 175. Imagine the silhouette of a Gibson ES-175, more or less, with the body depth of a typical Gretsch 6120. I have both (X175 and capri) and the X175 feels a lot bigger and bulkier, and puts out quite a bit more low end.

Main differences between the X-175 and the CE-100D would be the cutaway and the pickups. Also the tailpiece if you are talking about the sunburst X-175,

Well, slated for delivery 7/25.

What should I plug it into first, the Tbird or the Thunder 1?

Thunder 1. Then the Ampeg. Always test in your cleanest amp first. Grit can hide a multitude of sins.
