Hi all!
I'm new to this forum, and I'm also new to Guild guitars. Therefore, I'd love to take advantage of your knowledge to understand these guitars better. I have the opportunity to purchase a X-175 Manhattan from the seventies. This is going to be the first Guild in my collection (Gibsons: Byrdland, ES5 Switchmaster, L4 CES, L5 CES, ES355TD, SG Custom; Heritages: 575 custom 1 p/u, 575 custom 2 p/u's; Fender strat; 1 Martin and 1 Godin). Can anybody explain to me what these guitars are like in terms of playability in all respects? I like archtops guitars and I like playing jazz, but I've gigged with a Guild archtop and these guitars intrigue me very much! Specifically, I would be interested in the differences between the X-175, the X-500 and the X-700.
Thank you so much for addressing my questions.
Silvio
