The GUILD X150 SAVOY was a single cutaway archtop originally made between 1954 and 1965, but then reintroduced again in 1998 and made until around 2005. The X150 body is laminated curly maple; the neck is mahogany with a rosewood fretboard and block inlays. The Savoy had a single custom designed Guild chrome plated humbucking pickup (earlier 1950s and 1960s models had different pickups), with chrome Grover tuners and Guild harp tailpiece. Available in Blonde and Antique Sunburst and in left handed configuration.This guitar was also available with two custom designed Guild humbucking pickups as the X150D model.
