Product Description
The Guild X-170 Manhattan was introduced in 1988 and was made until 2002. It is a thinner guitar at 2 1/2″ at the edge than the X-175 and X-500, both of which are full-depth jazz boxes measuring 3 3/8″ at the edge. All the deeper jazz box guitars are big instruments especially when they include an under-bridge tone bar. The X170 is a much more nimble instrument,.Most of the X-170s I see in the wild are blonde. The 1 11/16″ neck found on this Guitar is highly flamed and a dream to play.The X-170 is 2 1/2″ thick at the rims which is its main design point having being advertised as more comfortable to play and hold. Like most Guilds, this is an incredibly well-made instrument that feels very solid in the hand.This guitar does have a wide tone bar underneath the bridge, as did all of the other Guild X170s and many of the vintage thicker X500 models. The tone bar helps to deaden feedback while also adding structural integrity to the guitar.
