Sweetwater has the X-175 Manhattan Dynasonic in black, white and red. I'm not in the market, but someone will be interested. Calling these pickups Dynasonics is debatable, but the guitars are good looking. The price is lower than the Manhattan Special also.

What's with the headstock inlay? Have we discussed that yet?
Nooo! I demand the Chesterfield! CMG has gone too far this time.
Don’t like the color choices, either.

Maybe it's what happens when you explode a three-line Chesterfield inlay???

I like it. Not every guitar needs a bigsby.

I like the black. I hate the headstock inlay. I'm not in love with the dot fingerboard inlay. I kinda like the price. Looking forward to seeing these at used prices. Might make a cool hot rod platform.

That's crazy! It's not really bad, but why? In that case less would have been more...
So that's the second new logo CMG recently used after the one on the pickguard of the Starfire I Jet 90:

why indeed - I think it would look a 100 times better without any inlay, and just the Guild logo

It looks like others I've seen on "budget" guitars.

Same thing here. It takes me back to 70's cheap Japanese guitars. Did they get it off a "Bradley"?

Maybe that's why! My first electric was a Bradley.

I'm with you on all those. Where did they get that inlay from? the NS X175 has the regular inlay

Manhattan Special vs Manhattan Dynasonic
why have we got now two different models floating around with different inlays, different headstocks but otherwise basically the same? This one is cheaper?
For comparison: https://www.soundaffects.com/electr...ody-electric-guitar-in-black-pre-owned-p15464
They run about the same money used now.

Perfect spot for a "Custom made for Rambozo96" plaque!
