Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

The Guild X-170 is a classic hollowbody archtop that delivers a warm, smooth voice with excellent clarity and definition. Its maple construction gives the guitar a focused, articulate response, while the dual humbuckers provide rich, full tones that work beautifully for jazz, blues, and clean melodic playing. The comfortable maple neck and rosewood fingerboard offer an easy, familiar feel across all 20 frets. Finished in a gloss sunburst with gold hardware and block inlays, it carries the elegant look expected from a traditional archtop. Warm, resonant, and refined, this X-170 offers a timeless hollowbody character.
