Semi-acoustic electric guitar GUILD X-175 Manhattan Special (Golden Coast)

A modern semi-acoustic classic!

The X-175 Manhattan Special is a modern classic with distinctive cabinet aesthetics and tone that looks as good as it sounds. This guitar inherits the traditional elements of the classic Guild Manhattan models of the 1950s and 60s, such as a graceful resonant hollow body with an arched spruce top and a reliable three-piece neck. The secret to this model's iconic sound lies in its authentic DeArmond Dynasonic neck and bridge pickups, which deliver crystal-clear highs and full-bodied, rounded bass for iconic rockabilly and blues tones from the 1950s. The original Guild Vibrato tremolo completes the picture for maximum expressiveness of the game.

Jazz rockability

The X-175 Manhattan Special electric guitar is a stellar embodiment of quality and the best traditions of Guild. Built for rich tone and great playability, this vintage-style jazz 'can' features a bright maple body topped with a spruce top for an unmatched combination of volume, clarity and detail on every note. The Manhattan Special's multi-layered mahogany/maple neck plays and sounds like a modernized classic, while the unique, spicy DeArmond DynaSonic pickups perfectly convey all the tonal nuances of your performance. If you're looking for a modern guitar that can convey the true soul of jazz and rockabilly, the Guild X-175 Manhattan Special simply can't beat it!

Comfortable three-part mahogany and maple neck

Multi-piece frets are much stronger and stiffer than solid frets, and this design is also very resistant to twisting and warping over the years. The vintage Soft U-profile of the neck rests gently in the hand, guaranteeing exceptional playing comfort.

DynaSonic loudspeakers provide timeless sound!

The DeArmond DynaSonic pickups deliver an excellent full-range tone with sweet, glossy highs and tight, well-rounded lows. Plug these pickups into the amp's clean channel and you'll enjoy a muscular blend of snap, biting punch and distinctive sonic sharpness. Shove them into an overloaded amp channel and you'll experience a euphoric crunch that can't be achieved with any other pickup.

Signature Guild tremolo

The signature Guild Vibrato Tailpiece tremolo fitted to the X-175 Manhattan Special provides truly expressive and fully controlled expression. From wailing fiery rockabilly solos to flowing waves of ghostly psychedelic chords - with Guild's signature vibrato you can reveal all the tonal nuances of this guitar and express your own musical emotions!
