Used 2003 Guild X-500 Hollow Body Electric With Case

Used 2003 Guild X-500 Hollow Body Electric With Case in Excellent Condition. There are a few signs of wear, mostly cosmetic on the pickguard. There are some scratches on the sides, though not into the wood itself, see photos for details. This fully hollow jazz monster has the looks of those bygone 1950's models with gold hardware, binding and a sweet trapeze tailpiece with some texture and the Guild "G". Flame Maple back and sides, in a beautiful gloss. Weighing 7.64 pounds (7 pounds, 10.5 ounces), it might be hollow but like the Earth it packs a major punch. Pickups in this hollow beaut are Bartolini Gold cover humbuckers with no visible pole pieces. See photos for all the details. Feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this guitar!

Here's some info from Guild: "A premier choice for the serious jazz guitarist, the X500 features a classic laminated Maple body and neck, and traditional Guild appointments including an Ebony 24-3/4" scale length fretboard with Mother-of-Pearl and Abalone block inlays, and a triple-bound headstock with the Guild Shield motif. Two Guild humbucking pickups under the hood give it that extra kick. Like the 1953 original, the X500's top is crafted from laminated Sitka Spruce for that unmistakable Guild jazz punch."
