Here's a very nice and rare in Europe X160B (for Bigsby) in gloss black with the original sought after HB1 pickups. I imported this guitar from the USA. 

This is a really nice combo of an all maple fully hollow guitar (nice tight bass), with a soundpost to reduce feedback and an unbound fingerboard (hard to find on a hollowbody or semi-hollow) , superbly made in Westerly, Rhode Island, USA, where guild had its base for 35 years. 

The HB1s give a very clear quite bright sound, not muddy or woolly at all. Tuning stability is excellent, even with the Bigsby. 

Great low action and playability. 

Excellent condition with no real issues - a small chip on the headstock (pictured), a bit of buckle rash on the rear and the metal cap has dropped off one of the knobs. If it bothers you, new replacement knobs are available cheaply from Guild, or older ones from various parts dealers. 

Comes with Guild branded slightly battered but very functional hard shell case. 

This guitar is all original. Located in London SW9.

I have shipped all over Europe and transatlantic with no problems. STILL NO DUTIES WITHIN THE EU.

 £1499. ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK.
