Description Exact Year: 1976 Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Brand: Guild Model: X-500 Body Type: Hollow Dexterity: Right-Handed String Configuration: 6 String
Got this not long ago just to realize that my guitar collection had gotten a bit out of hand. Thinning the herd. Original HB1 pickups. 24.75" scale 17" body 3-3/8" rim depth 1-5/8" nut Weight measured by weighing myself on a digital "bathroom scale" with and without having the items below 3 times each and noting the difference. -Approx. 8 lbs w/out case -Approx. 20 lbs w/case Plays like a dream. Sounds even better. I consider the condition to be on the better end of good. Some tarnish and a couple of cracks on the neck binding is why I don't rate it higher. Added pictures showing binding cracks and dings of what I consider to be of significance. All gold hardware have tarnish or wear that you'd expect from a guitar played for 40 years. The tailpiece though seems to have been mostly spared the wear or tarnish as it is minimal. Case tolex is peeling as shown. Price may fluctuate based on a periodic check of the comps on the market. Let me know if additional pictures are wanted.
