Guild Newark St. Collection X-175 Manhattan Special Gold Coast Semi-Acoustic Guitar
Product no: 9000-0107-1379 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

For the dutiful guitarists paying homage to the Fifties and Sixties, comes the Guild X-175 Manhattan Special from the Newark St. Collection. This full-size, semi-acoustic archtop exudes sheer vintage class and has all the playing feel you'd expect of a beautifully built, high-end Guild hollowbody. To amplify the full-fat, solid tone with the definition it deserves, this deluxe edition of the much-loved Manhattan is mounted with a pair of DeArmond Dynasonic singlecoil pickups. This combo doesn't only support blues, jazz, and rockabilly playing styles but will also shape that typical classic rock or '90s indie crunch with minimum effort. The vintage Soft-U neck profile has a satisfyingly classic feel and ultra-modern playing comfort is provided by the rounded edges, while the fitted lightweight aluminium vibrato tailpiece finishes an affectionate ode to the decades that defined everything that was to follow.

Wrote the following about Guild Newark St. Collection X-175 Manhattan Special Gold Coast Semi-Acoustic Guitar

Mooie gitaar. Zowel het visueel ontwerp als het geluid en speelgemak mogen er zijn. De DeArmond elementjes die er op zitten zijn een iets verbeterde versie van de DeArmonds die begin jaren 2000 wel op de Gretsch gitaren werden geplaatst en die zijn weer een clone van de elementen uit de jaren zestig waar o.a. George Harrison op speelde.

Gretsch Introduces the Vintage Select and Player Editions

Friday 29 January 2016

Gretsch fans can roughly be divided into two groups. On the one hand you have the purists who think the specifications from the 1950s and 1960s - the Gretsch heydays - are beyond dispute. On the other hand, you have the more practically minded guitarists who like to make modifications to their instruments. Luckily, both camps are being catered to with Gretsch's new series: the Vintage Select Editions and the Players Editions. Go for a modern classic like the G6118T-SGR or travel back in time to 1962 with the Gretsch G6119T-62GE!
