The X-175 Manhattan Special is one of the most famous Guild guitars from the early days of the New York-based company. The classic hollow body model is suitable for both jazz and rock'n roll. The 17" body is made of maple laminate with a laminated spruce top. The pickup configuration corresponds to the early Guild guitars: a set of the legendary Dynasonic pickups. The iconic Bigsby with Guild design is also included - Guild has thought of the rock'n rollers, too.

Guild Newark St. Collection

The Guild Newark St. Collection marks the return of classic Guild electric guitars and basses from the 1950s and ’60s—once again putting the distinctive Guild styling and voice that helped shape popular music into the hands of today’s musicians. The Newark St. Collection celebrates some of Guild’s most iconic models, including the hard-rocking solid-body S-100 Polara, the semi-hollow and hollow Starfire guitars and basses, and elegant archtop jazz guitars like the A-150 Savoy and X-175 Manhattan. Features include Guild’s famed Vibrato Tailpiece, stoptail pieces, pinned bridges, authentically voiced vintage-style pickups, and classic hardware designs. With a wide selection of models, Guild has always been the first choice for musicians in need of an instrument that’s made to be played.
