Description

The 1978 Guild X-500 is a high-end, full-bodied archtop hollowbody guitar that reflects Guild's craftsmanship during the company's Westerly, Rhode Island era. Featuring a maple body with a carved spruce top, multi-ply binding, and elegant appointments like block inlays and gold hardware, the X-500 was designed for jazz and big band players seeking rich, warm tones and smooth playability. Dual humbuckers deliver a versatile tonal palette, while the comfortable neck and classic blonde finish add to its vintage charm. Check out the specs for the full repair history. Includes a hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
