I caught this in my usual Google search for Guild Electrics. It looks like a X-150D or X-170/175, but the fingerboard dot's are not typical of the X guitars that I've seen - any guess? ... of course, contacting the seller would work ...

This is a late 1980's to mid 1990's X160. It was supposed to be a more affordable X170. Construction and size is similar to a X170 and it has a sound post under the bridge. It came with chrome instead of gold hardware and has plane neck with dots and no binding.

Interestingly these guitars are more rare than a X170 and sometime sell for a higher price that a X170. They came in at least 3 colors that I have seen: 1) Cherry Sunburst (shown), 2) Blond, 3) Transparent charcoal.

Yup, X-160 indeed, in fact, it looks almost exactly like the one I used to own. My recollection is that while it is hollow like all other X models, it is an intermediate depth, not as thick as the other X models but thicker than the Starfires.
