This is a 1992 Guild X-500 Archtop, all original, Pre Fender Guild. I'm listing its condition conservatively as "excellent" but I believe it would be more accurate to call it "near mint." Feel free to reach out with any questions you might have. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, LMK via message AND I WILL SEND OR UPLOAD MORE PICS.
