My review of one:
Guild 1997 X700 Stuart | GAD's Ramblings
The Guild X700 is a guitar that was pretty difficult for me to come by while also being high on my list of guitars that I wanted to review. Once I got one did its high-end nature make me a better player? Could I rip George Benson licks without thinking about it? Did the very quality of …

What's the price ? Haven't been able to find it where they say 'for price look here' (with 'here' underlined) or anywhere else...Mostly curious, 1" 11/16 nut width is probably too narrow for me - among other reasons...

It's actually easy to find. Once you get on to their home page (archtop.com), you have to click on "Instruments" to see what they have for sale. The price of every guitar is at the end of the one line description.

Archtop.com is... archaic. It was registered in 1996, designed shortly thereafter, and seems as though it hasn't had a style or tech upgrade since. The META tags in the pages state, <META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Adobe PageMill 2.0 Mac"> which is a 1997 version of software updated to 3.0 in 1999 and discontinued in 2000 when it was replaced by Adobe GoLive - which itself was discontinued in 2008.
The content is fabulous, but the site is a remnant from a time before YouTube and PayPal when Amazon only sold books. Then again, it's been the way it is for so long that I'm sure the majority of its users would scream about any changes.

But they have some nice guitars...

I check the site often and know exactly how to find things and decode Joe Vinikow's blurbs.
Thanks for the info guys, I hadn't seen it : that is probably because it hasn't got a distinct location - just the end of a line among other information... L-5s are all solid so this one ain't really 'like L-5s CES'. But thanks again.
