Hi. I have a chance to buy a used Guild x-175, from 1954, which I'm told is the first year in production. The price is $1500.00 Canadian, but is probably negotiable. Sounds great, but...the tuners have been replaced by Grovers, and the neck has apparently been refinished, and there is not pickguard (not sure there were any on them in 1954) but all else is apparently perfect with the guitar. (I will be getting pictures/seeing it in the next few days).
Does anyone think this is still a good deal, with a potential for resale if I am not happy with it? Also, I prefer humbuckers, so I am wondering if there are any replacement pickups that are humbucking, or noiseless single coils that would fit into the x-175, without having to alter the guitar in any way?
Thanks, Michael
