The fully hollow construction shapes the core of this guitar’s sound. A laminated spruce top works with the maple back and sides to produce a warm, open tone with clear note definition. This makes it well suited to jazz phrasing, chord work, and expressive lead lines. The 17" body size helps project your playing with a full acoustic character, while still handling amplified settings with clarity. You get a responsive feel that reacts to your touch, giving you more control over dynamics and articulation.
Equipped with De Armond Dynasonic single coil pickups, this model captures a distinctive vintage voice. These pickups are known for their clarity and wide frequency response, helping each note stand out in chords or solos. You can shape your tone using the dual volume and tone controls, along with a three-way selector for quick changes. This setup gives you the flexibility to cover smooth jazz tones, bright rock rhythms, and everything in between without needing extra gear.
The three-piece maple and mahogany neck features a Soft U profile that sits comfortably in your hand. Combined with a 9.5" radius ebony fingerboard, it offers a balanced feel for both chord work and lead playing. The 24.75" scale length keeps string tension manageable, making bends and vibrato easier to control. Mother-of-pearl block inlays also provide clear visual reference across the fretboard, helping you stay confident as you move between positions.
The Guild-designed Bigsby-style vibrato adds another layer of expression to your playing. You can introduce subtle pitch movement to chords or create more noticeable vibrato effects during solos. Paired with a tune-o-matic bridge and stable Grover tuners, it maintains reliable tuning while you play. This combination gives you the freedom to experiment with feel and phrasing, making your performance more dynamic without complicating your setup.
