The X-50 was Guild's answer to the working musician's jazz guitar—a lightweight, fully hollow archtop that sounds fantastic acoustically and excels for jazz, blues, swing, and roots music. This example has beautifully aged over the last 60+ years, developing the kind of character and resonance that only comes with time.
