Hey guys, just registered. Being a Gretsch player for several years I found myself a superb Guild X-160 Rockabilly in metallic blue with serial number CB 000299. The looks and the feel are awesome!
Am I right that the guitar is build in may 2004?
After selling one of my gretsches (a G6129T Silver Jet) to a nice person from Amsterdam last friday, I drove all the way to Pleckhausen in Germany on saturday morning where I bought the Guild from a person who's a fool to let go such a superior piece of art.
The guitar has had several upgrades to make it even beter than it was already.
The upgrades are :
- TV Jones Pickups (neck: Classic, bridge: Classic Plus)
- Chrome Schaller Locking tuners
- ABR-1 adjustomatic bridge
- Q-parts chrome / pearl dome knobs
- New bone nut
- Schaller Strap locks
The X-160 is a masterpiece of work. The feel, the looks and especially the sound (with the TV-Jones pickups) is fantastic!!!
I'm very happy and proud to own one of my dreamguitars. Never thought I would find one but all the pieces of the puzzle came together the way I dreamed they would com.
Last Saturday was a busy day indeed. In the morning the trip to Pleckhausen to pick up the guitar and at 20:00 PM I was standing in front of the stage in AB Brussels to watch Willy Deville giving a very good concert together with the Mink Deville Band. He was a little bit drunk but did a very good concert. I'm glad I had a busy day, last Saturday...
Here are some pics of my upgraded X-160 Rockabilly :
So guys, what do you think about my new beloved one?
Here are my two main guitars. They both sound awesome :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: !!!
