Date for Westerly X170-T?

[CharleyRich]

I have a Westerly Guild X170-T, that I plan to sell. The serial number is: AK171562

Can anyone tell me what year it was manufactured? I suspect sometime in the 2000s as the number is slightly higher than those I saw in Guild's charts that went to 1999.

Thanks,

Charley

That's a pretty high serial number for an X-170 so I'm going to say 2001. Only Hans would know for sure.

Way off subject, but I haven't thought about Mars Music in a million years Is it still in business?
