Guild X-175B Manhattan Hollow-Body, Blonde Overview
The Guild X-175B Manhattan is a beautiful looking and sounding guitar that is great for anything from rockabilly to smooth jazz. The laminated maple back and sides and laminated spruce top give the hollow-bodied X175B Manhattan a sweet resonance that is complimented wonderfully by the pair of Guild DE-1F single coils. The 3-piece mahogany/maple/mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard is a joy to play, the comfortable soft-U profile hits the spot, while the rosewood fingerboard and narrow jumbo frets are great for fast runs and soulful bends. Block inlays, a classic Guild logo and a classy blonde finish give the X-175B Manhattan an air of style and finesse- it is everything that Guild are known for in a guitar.- Body Construction: Hollowbody
