Even though it says FS/FT, I'm really hoping for a trade. Looking for a New Hartford era F50 RW, or I guess they were F55s then. More pictures available for serious inquiries. Never been gigged, I bought it new when I was starting a duo playing standards and oldies, but my erstwhile partner flipped out-literally institutionalized! The case has some damage where one of our bunnies chewed at the covering in the neck area. Will include the gold Guildsby pictured. Only issue was the trapeze was installed a little off center so that the high 'e' string was too close to the edge. It was removed and re-positioned by my luthier, probably in '88. According to GAD's on line '88 price list, the X170 listed for $100 more than an F50R ('88 Guild Price list). Recently set up by Phil Brunwin at Bethany Guitars (https://www.bethanyguitars.com/). Haven't plugged it in for a long time, but will check and make sure it's working and there are no noisy pots.
Did a Reverb search on sold X170s, and they averaged around $2300, and the gold Guildsby would probably add to that.

Very nice...lovely grain on that one. I'm a sucker for a nice X-170! Good luck with the sale/trade. I love my New Hartford F50 (all maple). It's a fantastic instrument.
