Your cart is empty.The precedent for hollowbody aesthetic and tone, the X-175 Manhattan Special looks as good as it sounds. With its gracefully sculpted and richly resonant hollowbody, arched spruce top, and rock-solid three-piece neck it exemplifies the quality building of the Guild Manhattan models of the 1950’s and ‘60s. The secret to this model’s iconic tone lies in the authentic DeArmond Dynasonic neck and bridge pickups, providing crystal clears highs and a full, round low-end - the makings of the iconic tones of rockabilly and blues from the 1950’s on forward. Complimenting the tonal pallet of the Dynasonic pickups, the X-175 Manhattan Special features a Guild Vibrato Tailpiece for expressive playing. Other premium features include fully bound body, neck, F-holes, and headstock, mother-of-pearl block fretboard inlays, and a hard shell case. Available in a special addition satin Malibu Blue finish.

I received my Guild x-175 M Special and upon inspection noticed it had issues. I contacted Amazon via phone and the gal took care of me immediately. She authorized a prepaid pick up and sent me a replacement. The replacement is perfect in every way. It was set up well and is a dream to play. Half the time I play it I do so unplugged and it still sounds good. I'll mention one thing I thought was very confusing (see pics). The manufacturer refers to this as a "Guild X-175" (Manhattan Special) but inside the guitar they are actually tagged as "Guild X-175B". before making my purchase all the research I was able to do showed the "X-175B" as the blonde version...never the blue version. Just confusing but then again, a rose by any other name...
