Recent Acquisition X170

[Teleguy61]

Got this a couple/three weeks ago, adjusting to taste a bit at a time.
I put the TOM on, because I play an unwound third.
Early 1997 serial number, like new condition, seems pretty much unplayed, a couple of little body scratches is all.

Very nice companion to my 1973 X500.

Nice guitar!

Yeah, very nice! X-170’s are really a great design. I hope yours sounds as good as it looks.

1997 was a good year for Guild finishes and wood! Nice!!!

Beautiful X-170, congrats!! Does this get your Guild count out of negative territory?

Never went lower than zero!

Yep, up to two now.
Eyes peeled.....

I also have a '97 X-170, but in natural. One of the best designs ever, IMHO.
Congratulations, your X-170 is gorgeous!!

I agree.
The one inch less body depth makes a very manageable guitar.
Not that I don't love my X500--I do, and it is a very versatile instrument.

I have an '86 (IIRC) X170 natural, don't play it often, but it's a great guitar. Hope you enjoy yours.

Great looking guitar!

The X170 is one of my favorite guitars!
Cordoba would be wise to reissue that model and the T model with the option to include DeArmond pickups.

Oh that is just fantastic. Congratulations! Looking forward to hearing how it plays and sounds.

And thanks everyone for no snarky comments about my quick snap of the guitar in my messy office/music room!

That burst is divine!! Congrats! I'm a little disappointed there's no foot in the photo, but you can always take more photos. LOL!!

Hi. is the nut width 1-11/16 on your beautiful ‘97? Or a little narrower..?
In fact, how is the neck profile in general, asides from the nut width? Thin or round, with some shoulders?
Thank you!

Thank you!

The nut is 1-5/8, and the neck profile is slim.
Very similar to my 73 X500.
Very comfortable, very fast neck to play.
I like it.
