X-160 Volume/Tone knob question

[walrus]

It seems like the X-160 Rockabilly has one volume and one tone knob, and the X-160 Savoy has two of each. Is this correct? Or is it tyipcal Guild and there's no set rule?

You are correct!

The X160 and X160 Rockabilly are really two very different guitars. The X160 is like a stripped down X170 while the X160 Rockabilly is like a tricked out X150.

Two knobs is enough IMO

One of the things I loved about my former PRS Hollowbody Spruce was only one volume and one tone knob, but two pickups, just like the Rockabilly. That's my favorite configuration, just not very common.

If you just have 1 tone and 1 volume you sure loose a lot of different colors that are found by twisting the knobs with both PU’s on. But, I’ve been a Les Paul guy for a long time...

I agree.
And I will be the first to admit that for the most part I usually set the tone and forget it.
Even worse, I don't use the neck pickup much at all.
But when I want to make an adjustment...

The biggest thing for me?
My tone knobs for the bridge and neck are almost never in the same position.
I like the convenience of setting tone and volume for each pickup and then simply switching back and forth.

Who here has experience with the X-160 Rockabilly?
I came THIS CLOSE to buying one brand new.
Over 15 years ago.
Haven't even seen one since.

Guild X160 Rockabilly | GAD's Ramblings

One of the toughest guitars for me to get ahold of has been the Guild X160 Rockabilly model. They may not be all that common, but I think the main issue is that the people who have them don’t want to sell them or when they do, they want ridiculous amounts of money for them. Thanks …
