What year is this X-170T?

[guildman63]

I just purchased an orange X-170T with Guildsby, serial number AK171442. Guild stops at 1997 and AK170799 on their site, and there were about 399 made in 1997, so it could be a 1998, 1999 or 2000. If anyone knows please let me know. Thanks!

Hello guildman63,

Your X-170T with serial # AK171442 was one of the X-170Ts that were made for the Mars Music chain. They had the extra coil tap switch on the cutaway bout. This one was made during the year 2000.

Sincerely,
