Description of Guild X-175 Manhattan

Proudly introducing 8 classic Guild guitar styles from the 50's and 60's that have helped shape popular music from the time of their creation and beyond! The return of these timeless and distinctive Guild models has been long awaited but they are here now and they are truly awesome!

The new X175 Manhattan is a beautiful recreation of the Guild 175 from the late 50's. Lovers of Jazz, swing and rockabilly have been drooling over these guitars ever since they were first released and now they are back with a twang!
