Description
Blending modern performance features with sleek vintage aesthetics, the Guild X-175 Manhattan Special has staked its claim as a top-of-the-line hollow body guitar. If you're the type of player who loves classic looks and rich, bluesy tones, look no further than this undeniably cool Guild guitar.
The body of the X-175 Manhattan Special is a work of art in itself. Featuring a gracefully sculpted maple body capped with an arched spruce top, this hollow body projects a bold, clear tone with tight lows and crisp, punchy highs. Its Vintage Soft "U"-shaped mahogany neck has a pleasantly rounded feel, and its ebony fingerboard plays with a wonderfully smooth response.
The magic behind this model's voice lies in its DeArmond Dynasonic pickups that deliver a gorgeous tone, marked by full, rounded lows and crystal-clear highs. While this guitar excels in blues, jazz, and rockabilly settings, its versatile electronics give it a diverse sound that can easily adapt to many styles and genres.
Spec'd out with a Guild Vibrato Tailpiece and a roller saddle tune-o-matic bridge for expressive playing, the Guild X-175 Manhattan Special is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a premium hollow body guitar with plenty of old-school charm.
