Guild X-50 (1955)
1955 Guild X-50 – The Guild X-50 is a vintage classic with a warm, full-bodied tone that only six decades of age can produce. This archtop guitar is in good condition with all the rich character expected from a well-loved instrument. It features a fully hollow body with a single pickup, offering that coveted, punchy mid-century tone perfect for jazz, blues, and rockabilly. Cosmetically, it has typical signs of age, including minor binding shrinkage and some checking in the finish – all purely aesthetic and indicative of its vintage authenticity. The neck is straight, and the frets have plenty of life left, making it as playable as it is beautiful. This Guild is perfect for players and collectors alike, blending a smooth, resonant voice with classic 1950s style. The guitar pictured is the exact instrument that is for sale.
