Vintage 1986 Guild X-500 Stuart Hollowbody Guitar with what I believe to be the original hard case. This is Guild??s flagship model. As pretty a sunburst finish as one will ever see! I have this listed as "Very Good" but it is oh so close to excellent! The worst culprit is an area of very fine, shallow buckle rash on back. I do believe some very fine wet sanding then polishing will make a good bit of that go away. I ... more
