Check US Out By Clicking the About Me Icon! 1968 Guild X-500 Blonde. An incredibly attractive guitar with breath taking flamed Maple back and sides, Rare Blonde finish, Spruce top, Gold Hardware, F-hole label intact, 17 inch wide body, and Abalone & Pearl fretboard inlays. Pre-1970s X-500s are very hard to come by and were made in much smaller finely crafted quantities. They are excellent instruments that rival Gibson’s best. The guitar displays light play wear with a small spot of belt buckle wear that has been touched up on the back of the body. Overall a fine example. 1960s Grover Tuners installed years ago. No cracks or crack repairs. Included is the original hardshell case with replaced handle. We take pride in well packing our guitars to make sure they arrive at your door with no problems.

This is simply one gorgeous instrument in every way–the sunburst is deep and subtle–shading from black through orange into violet especially under the lights–it is in near mint condition–what i’d call excellent with the scans showing what small blemishes will show uo–from 3 feet away it presents like a collector’s guitar. The sound is also equally big and beautiful–the HB1 pickups that Guild is rightfully so famous for are exceptional and this instrument is able to cross genres effortless from Jazz to Blues–to Rock to Country without sacrificing tonal reach–none of this is hyperbole–every player of the X-500 speaks so highly of it. My favorite time for Guilds is the time of George Gruhn and Kim Walker–i have Nightbirds and Bluesbirds as well as DV70 and a D-70 all designed by those luthiers and everyone is exceptional–so when i bought this 500 i looked for one from that era.
