Guild Introduces X160 Rockabilly Guitar
 July 26, 1999
Guild will introduce its latest and most swingin' guitar
to date, as attendees of this summer's NAMM convention in Nashville, Tennessee
in July are treated to the new X160 Rockabilly. This new arch-top guitar
from Guild is sure to be an instant hit when it is unleashed in the state
that gave birth to the music that made famous such legends as Carl Perkins,
Elvis Presley, and Johhny Cash.
This
new Guild arch-top guitar recalls a look, sound and feel from an era that
has helped define almost every form of music as we know it today. Drawing
on influences from swing, jazz, blues, rock 'n roll and country music,
Guild has designed a new hollowbody electric guitar that can only be described
with one word. . . "Rockabilly". The all maple body, known for
its rich and smooth tones, is brought to life by its 2 Original DeArmond
2000 pickups. The result is an electric, "twangy" rockin'-country
guitar that will attract players both old an new to the sound that started
it all.
To be built at the venerable guitar maker's Westerly, Rhode Island facilities,
the X160 is based on Guild's famous Savoy body shape. The fretboard of
the X160 is solid rosewood with pearloid "block" inlays, and
is rounded off with an unmistakable Bigsby tailpiece and tremolo bridge.
Unlike any other Guild Jazz guitar, the Rockabilly will be available in
four distinctive color options, including: Black; Tennessee Orange; Metallic
Blue; and Fiesta Red. United States MSRP is $2,499.99.
