Wrote the following about Guild X-175B

Wanted this guitar for some time now. Finally got round to purchasing one from bax music because they had the cheapest one I could find. I've been into Rockabilly music for some time now, so a few years ago I bought a Gretsch 6120 which was ideal for my needs but wanted the ultimate good looking great Rockabilly guitar that Duane Eddy used. I know that he also had a Gretsch 6120 for his early recordings, but for me the Gild Blonde pictured on some of his album covers seemed more appealing to me.By the way...It plays great!
