Hi All,
Thanks for all the encouragement on the former blonde X-500 I'd been considering.
After owning a pair of DeArmond's (X-135 and X-155) I received a shipment of my first true Guild guitar in a X-500 2 days ago.
Serial number: AK500035 Westerly, R.I. built and near as I can tell it's a '95 model.
Question: Does anyone know the back story (history) of when the X500 was produced, discontinued, and then again built at the Waverly plant?
Also, does anyone know the story on the X-500 displaying the "Guild" logo on the pick guard? I'm asking because I've observed several X-500 pics that did NOT display the "Guild" logo on the pick guard and several that have the logo. My guitar HAS the logo on the pick guard.
Here's a few pics. And thanks again to all for the assist!
