Guild x170 1988 bought 2nd hand in hand. flamed maple body in half, as the handle is curly maple. run al 22 keys. two microphones with 4 volume knob and tonalit.finition very beautiful, even if the gilt covers of microphones and cls Grovers have partially disappeared. but gives a ct vintage guitar. MODEL manufactured in the United States before the redemption of guild by Fender. trs beautiful finish. Only problem: the outline of the micro bridge pickup is broken and it seems impossible to find original pices! solutions: luthier who will make two contours microphone bne. no ide of the origin of microphones, but have the original.
floating bridge, it goes without saying.
UTILIZATION
Channel trs enjoyable strings (flat nets) are trs close the handle without even vibrate against the frets when you attack the strings a bit much. D handle some pais but is a highway vritable compare my other guitars (Yamaha AEX500N and Hohner L59). Access in acute is not the trs ais consquence that the handle is al at the 12th box, and the glue is part trs feeding. appropriate weight and perfect balance sitting as standing. Sometimes the left hand pile hair on the handle without having to contention.
SOUNDS
Amateur musician of jazz, the sound of this guitar is perfect for this style of music. this guitar has 17 years took the wood maturation and it sounds really good. his warm full rich round ... short as happiness. No I have not done adjusting microphones (it ^ ppartenait a guitar teacher before) and the balance of power and sound between bass and treble is perfect. the micro bridge seems OK, but I use it so little trs no special comment.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a month. I have long sought such a guitar before finding it: I tried the 335, the Ibanez AF105, the Telecasters, the strata, yamaha, without finding that sound. plus she is beautiful trs. Certainly it is a rather expensive instrument but does not predre than the value given both its quality and rarity. guitar gibson cheaper than even in the occasion, with a sound as good or better a quality of finish was nearly perfect, and that is never seen, adding to the charm. without hesitation I rachaiterais this guitar.
