Hello to all.
On Sunday I was the high bidder on an X-170 at ebay. Earlier in the day I had played several of the NS archtops, but (and I hope not to offend anyone) I wasn't impressed by them. For close to the same price a used Guild was a very easy decision.
I've been taking lessons for about a year and am getting into jazz. On my lesson on Monday I told my teacher about the X-170, and he said that his first archtop was an X-175. So of course that made me feel good.
I'm happy to be getting a Guild. This will be my second (although I sold the first). I had a JF-30 12-string for back in the early 2000s, which was a great guitar. Also I had a Dearmond X-155 (I think that's the number) briefly. My best childhood friend had a Guild dread back in college (he went to the University of Rhode Island ) in the late 70s/early 80s and we played together a bit and I admired his guitar.
It should arrive by next Monday and I'm quite excited. (Also getting obsessed thinking about pickup swaps.)
