The X-175 Manhattan Special archtop is a stellar representation of Guild quality and value. This vintage-styled jazz box is primed for rich tone and great playability, featuring a crisp maple body topped with nuanced spruce for enhanced clarity and detail. The Manhattan Special's multi-ply mahogany/maple neck plays like a modernized classic, and its zesty DeArmond DynaSonic pickups twang, snarl, and howl with the best of them. Even better, the X-175's expressive vibrato tailpiece gives you a taste of that classic wiggle-stick wobble, all without the intonation issues of lesser designs. Take it from our guitarists: if you're after a modern guitar that can get you true rockabilly soul and a host of clean and dirty hollowbody tones, it's hard to top the value you get in the Guild X-175 Manhattan Special.

Based on a classic Guild hollowbody

The Manhattan Special sets its eyes on the Guild Manhattan guitar of the 1950s and '60s for inspiration. Boasting a body made of maple with an arched spruce top, and combined with a special pair of DeArmond pickups and genuine Guild vibrato tailpiece, the X-175 Manhattan Special is everything you'd expect from a modern-made, vintage-styled jazz box.

3-piece mahogany/maple neck

Multi-piece necks tend to be stronger and more rigid than single-piece necks, resisting twisting and warping over the years. Treat it well, and you'll get a lifetime of exceptional playability from the Guild X-175 Manhattan Special.

Dual DynaSonic pickups deliver timeless single-coil sound

Boasting the twang of a classic single-coil and the bite of a P90, the Manhattan Special's DeArmond DynaSonic pickups exhibit a wonderful full-range tone with sweet, glossy highs with tight, well-rounded lows. Run these pups into a clean amp, and you’ll enjoy a muscular blend of snap, punch, and bite. Park them in front of an overdriven amp, and you’ll experience a euphoric crunch that can’t be achieved with any other pickup. A 3-way toggle, two volume controls, and two tone controls give you the flexibility to dial in your sound, even in a fast-paced stage environment.

Guild vibrato tailpiece

The Guild-branded vibrato tailpiece installed on this X-175 Manhattan Special supplies "big" (if you know what we mean) expression and control. From caterwauling rockabilly leads to cascading waves of texture and color, you'll find all the nuance you need in this expressive vibrato system.

Buy if you like shredded meat I guess
Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 2 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was so excited to try these “slices” of beef because I grew up eating deer biltong made from deers my uncles would go hunt. Some of the best snacks I ever had, absolutely delicious. So when I decided to see if any biltong was actually sold around here I was surprised and pleased this was available. Unlike beef jerky which uses lots of sugar for some reason I was hoping this would have more meaty flavor but it doesn’t really. Although that might be due to the fact that I did get “slices” of meat, no what I got was basically shredded and powdered. It’s salty, but has absolutely no spice whatsoever and is just not good at all.

Very greasy biltong and not spicy at all
Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The flavor is ok but the spice is almost nonexistent. It’s super greasy/oily, with big pieces of fat, so if you’re expecting a nice lean, dry, and spicy biltong, this is not the right one to try. I took the photo to try and capture the shiny, wet, translucent appearance of this biltong but it’s hard to see. Maybe it’s just personal preference but I’m used to biltong being dry and opaque with nearly zero fat chunks and not leaving a film of oil on my hands after eating it.

Most like South African Biltong
Flavor Name: Spicy, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Firstly, this is NOT JERKY!! So please stop comparing it to that disgusting, over-processed, artificially flavored stuff. Nothing can compare to good biltong. It is seasoned and air dried meat that is the most amazing high protein snack available. Jerky doesn't deserve to be in the same room as biltong, let alone compared to it. I am a South African recently relocated to the USA and have been trying various Biltong brands available. This is by far the best. I prefer the spicy to the original, but that it a personal preference, the original is also very good, but could do with a bit more flavor. The dry wors is also good, but I am a big biltong eater and always have been. For those of you who don't know, dry wors is a thin sausage (sausage = wors), that has been air dried. It is not a brat type sausage that most Americans are familiar with, it is more a kielbasa or Argentinian style sausage (but not quite). Thank you, being able to have this, has prevented me from going crazy some days. Now I just need to try your boerewors!

LOVE THEM!!
Size: Small, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
LOVE! These socks are so comfortable! I wear a 5 in women's and a 3 in big kid shoes. The small fit me perfectly. I see where some say they run small but I can't say that was an issue for me. They are "snug" but thats what you want with a no show sock. I feel they have support vs the ones i used to buy at Walmart. They are very soft! I am actually buying more today and throwing my other ones in the trash!

So will not write down your foot
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
I love these socks. They have a little bit of gel on the top of the heel for support in your tennis shoes and so your socks don’t write down. Very good quality.
