An extraordinary instrument for the swinging soloist and technician, Guild's X-175B Manhattan hollowbody archtop is a masterpiece of the guitar maker's art. It presents the same exceptional appointments as its brother, the X-175 Manhattan, including a gracefully sculpted hollowbody, rock-solid three-piece neck and electrifying dual single-coil pickups, but also features the addition of a Guild Vibrato Tailpiece and is available in a handsome Blonde finish.
