Semi-acoustic electric guitar GUILD X-175B Manhattan (Blonde)

A masterpiece of guitar art!

The X-175B Manhattan is a modern classic with a distinctive aesthetic and acoustic cabinet tone that looks as good as it sounds. This guitar inherits the traditional elements of classic Guild Manhattan models from the 1950s and 60s, such as a sleek resonant hollow body with an arched spruce top, a solid three-piece neck, and signature Guild Franz P90 pickups for iconic 1950s rockabilly and blues tones years The original Guild Vibrato tremolo completes the picture for maximum expressiveness of the game.

Jazz rockability

The X-175B Manhattan 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 multi-ply mahogany/maple neck plays and sounds like a modernized classic, while the signature Guild Franz P90 pickups perfectly capture the traditional guitar sound of the birth of rock 'n' roll. If you are looking for a modern guitar that can convey the true soul of jazz and rockabilly - the Guild X-175B Manhattan is simply beyond competition!

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.

The classic sound of a pair of P-90 pickups

Armed with a pair of signature Franz P-90 Soapbar pickups, the Guild X-175B Manhattan will reward you with a wide range of classic tones. These pickups deliver a gnarly yet incredibly transparent sound with mids so fat you can eat them with a spoon! Plug them into the amp's clean channel and you'll enjoy a meaty mix of snappy, biting attack and an ocean of delicious punch. Switch to the high-gain channel of the amplifier - and you will feel the paint creaking on the walls :) The Guild X-175B Manhattan is characterized by sonic flexibility thanks to individual volume and tone controls for each pickup.

Signature Guild tremolo

The signature Guild Vibrato Tailpiece tremolo fitted to the X-175B Manhattan 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!
