All user reviews for the Guild X500

This guitar is one of the few pearls. Real instrument maker, care achievement rarely equaled, the X500 is unfortunately no longer manufactured today.
The box is impressive, fully blond natural maple, the table shows a very dense network while splint cut in another sense wood are almost pearly shades.
The neck is narrow and the game is confusing at first but soon you understand the benefits that can be derived. The keys are made of ebony inlaid with mother of pearl two-tone. Superb!
The finishes are worthy of all.
Box of 30 3/4 "by 17", ebony, pearl two-tone, 2 x micro Guild HB1, 2 vol, 2 tone, one master flight, Grover.

UTILIZATION

The neck is narrow and the game is confusing at first but soon you understand the benefits that can be derived. The keys are made of ebony inlaid with mother of pearl two-tone. Superb!
on the other hand, it weighs its weight. It is not stolen on the matter at Guild.
As she is very fair, it quickly gained a clear sound and rhythm never blurred even on full agreements (unlike Gibson, sometimes not obvious to grant)

SOUNDS

The accuracy is impeccable, harmonic cut the cord.
You can play without an amp, it's safe.
But the highlight is the sound produced by this instrument.
X-500 were not purely jazz guitars, attack and natural compression micro make an excellent guitar Rock & roll and rockabilly with a "sustain" natural long.
The difference between the two microphones is well marked and is a very round and deaf to its crystal-clear highs.

OVERALL OPINION

Guild (Fender Group) arrested 10 years making these guitars and we still wonder why? as the achievements of the brand workshops were splendid.
The electrical instrument production resumed and so much the better, although the new model X500 Stuart was decked out in two hambucker plastic shell (foul!)
Guild is one of those brands (With Duesenberg, Hoffner ...) that do not have a Gibson or Fender but produce high quality instruments at prices (almost) affordable.
I owned one for 6 years. Purchased 13,500 francs on a whim in 1996, I am separated with regret that for financial reasons. I still regret today.
