Gretsch Guitars

This hollowbody Guild X160 guitar is in 

excellent condition, with no scratches 

or dings in the finish.  The pickguard 

has been removed, but is included in 

the case.  Also included are a set of 

extra strings (I've found that this 

particular size is perfect for keeping 

the Bigsby in tune - I can actually use 

it a lot without throwing the guitar 

out of tune!) the owner's manual, the 

truss rod tool that came with it, the 

key to the original hardshell case it 

comes in (the plaque on the case says 

"Guild: Made to be played"), two pieces 

of foam cut to fit the F-holes in order 

to cut down on feedback during 

extremely loud gigs (only needed them 

once) and the original bridge pickup.  

This pickup, a DeArmond USA 2k, 

mysteriously died on me one day.  That 

exact pickup wasn't made anymore, but 

Fender, who owns DeArmond, Gretsch, and 

Guild, still made a version of the same 

pickup with a black bobbin that was 

used on some Gretsch hollowbody 

guitars, so I bought one of them to 

take its place and had it 

professionally installed.  That's why 

this guitar has one black-bobbin pickup 

and one white-bobbin pickup.  The 

original pickup is included in the case 

in case you want to get it re-wound and 

installed so both pickups will look the 

same. I think it looks fine how it is, 

and the sound is identical.

This guitar plays incredibly well and 

sounds awesome.  It's perfect for 

rockabilly, blues, country, jazz, or 

anything where you want that big 

hollowbody sound and a good reliable 

Bigsby-style tremolo that won't throw 

the guitar out of tune.  This guitar 

has an aluminum rocker bridge, which 

also helps keep things in tune.  It has 

always been kept in its case and 

babied.  You will love this guitar.  

Everyone who has ever picked it up has 

fallen in love with it.

You can pick the guitar up in person 

from me in Tucson, AZ, or I can ship 

it. I will charge you the actual 

shipping cost.  Costs calculated by ebay may not be accurate as they may not take into account the dimensions of the box, only the weight. I will get quotes from 

FedEx and UPS based on your ZIP code at 

the close of the auction and send them 

to you, and ship once I have received 

PayPal payment.
