59 Ghost Label X500 Beauty

[Guildelicious]

Yes, there is one on Ebay, looks like it's in good shape too! Just wondering whether this one has laminated top or solid top? In general, besides the Artist Award, which Guild archtops have solid top and solid back and sides?

Think of it this way -- an X-500 is to an X-175 what a D-55 is to a D-50. About the same guitar but tricked out better with fancier woods, inlays, hardware, etc. Both have laminated tops. Guild carved tops started with the X-700, Artist Awards and Benedettos.
