Guild X-175 Manhattan Hollowbody Electric Guitar

Description: True Hollowbody Tone Inspired By The Big Apple Fresh from Guild, the stylish X-175 Manhattan Hollowbody Guitar captures the refined resonant tone of mid-century hollowbodies that fueled countless classics from rockabilly to jazz and blues. Two DE-1F pickups deliver stunning P-90-inspired tones with expressive cleans and dynamic response. Guild combined an arched spruce top and maple body for an evergreen hollowbody tonewood combo that makes this guitar stand out with a touch of acoustic zing (the spruce top also enhances unplugged acoustic volume — perfect for quiet practice!). Guitarists at Sweetwater were pumped to see the X-175 equipped with an ever-classic harp-style Guild tailpiece. And we’d be remiss not to mention the X-175’s stunning finish and appointments. Aesthetic touches like an ebony fingerboard, block inlays, and retro Grover button tuners for functional beauty that match the legacy of this iconic brand.

Ready to hit the stage?Spruce and maple: a perfect tonewood pairing There’s no better hollowbody tonewood combination than a spruce top with maple back and sides. What makes this marriage so great? The X-175’s maple frame shapes tone with warm, resonant depth that’s balanced and clear. Maple also makes for an incredibly responsive electric guitar that lets technique nuances shine. Such supple response is a must-have for hollowbody players seeking retro tone. Meanwhile, the X-175’s elegant arched spruce top enhances the sound chamber’s acoustic resonance with volume, power, and projection. Long favored as a tonewood of choice for acoustic guitar tops, spruce delivers high-quality hollowbody tone that can’t be achieved on solidbody instruments.Pliable fingerboard feel This guitar’s playability is unmatched and ready for everything from graceful jazz inversions to rowdy rockabilly picking and riffs. The X-175 features a set mahogany/maple/mahogany neck and a comfortable 24.75-inch ebony fingerboard. This slightly shorter-than-average scale length makes for pliable playability with heightened string responsiveness and low action. The neck’s vintage soft U profile is also a welcome throwback with a curve and shoulders tailored for players who love fretting bass notes with their thumb. Think of it as an alternative to the era’s popular V necks prized for their ability to tackle retro-voiced chords.Dutiful P-90-inspired DE-1F pickup combo Once the X-175's spruce and maple-projected tone passes through its set of DE-1F pickups, you'll understand why so many Sweetwater guitarists have clamored for this 6-string. These P-90-inspired pickups supply clean, authentic tones perfect for articulated lead lines, chorused rhythms, and everywhere in between. Likewise, utilizing the X-175's onboard 3-way toggle switch and two volume and tone knobs ensures you're always a few twists and turns away from supplying your track with authentic hollowbody tone.Guild X-175 Manhattan Features: Retro-inspired hollowbody electric guitar based on a Guild mid-century classic Arched maple back and side fuel warm, responsive electric tone with stellar clarity Arched spruce top yields powerful acoustic resonance and adequate volume for unplugged practice Dual DE-1F pickups project a swath of dominating P-90-inspired tones 3-way toggle, 2 volume controls, and 2 tone controls arm you with ample tonal flexibility Comfortable 24.75-in. rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlays and 20 frets Set mahogany/maple/mahogany neck — vintage soft U profile aids thumb bass note fretting for barre chords and inversions Guild harp-style tailpiece and body cutaway for better upper-fret access Bone nut, Grover Sta-Tite tuners, and compensated rosewood bridge for enhanced tone and tuning stability SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Type Hollowbody Body Shape X-175 Manhattan Body Material Laminated Maple Top Material Veneer Arched Spruce Color Black Body Finish Gloss Neck Material 3-piece Mahogany/Maple Neck Shape Vintage Soft U Neck Joint Set Neck Radius 9.5" Fingerboard Material Indian Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Blocks Number of Frets 20 Scale Length 24.75" Nut Width 1.6875" Nut Material Bone Bridge/Tailpiece Compensated Rosewood with Rosewood Base and Guild Harp Tailpiece Tuners Grover Sta-tite Open-gear Neck Pickup Guild DE-1F Single-coil Bridge Pickup Guild DE-1F Single-coil Controls 1 x master volume, 2 x volume, 2 x tone Switching 3-way toggle pickup switch Strings D'Addario EXL115, .011-.049 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
