The Westerly X150 had a bound fretboard and block inlays, but was generally a harp tailpiece jazz kind of guitar with a single neck pickup, though it also came in the X150D variety with dual pickups. It’s got the same body shape and style, but it has all chrome hardware and no neck binding. The X160 Rockabilly, however has the shape and body style of the smaller X150 guitar, which differs from the X160/X170 in that it’s a bit smaller on the bottom bout and a bit deeper overall. It sounds & plays many times more incredible these days!.The X160 Savoy is kind of like a stripped down X170 Manhattan. And i noticed around my early teens that it sounded better with age. I'm 35 now, i started playing it ( trying to) when i was nine or ten years old. More than two were pricie- and sounded good, but didn't have the sound, or action. Can anyone help out with some knowledge / pretty please? Side note- already offered a couple different good quality acoustics for trade. Does anyone out there have any info (personal, or to) when my sweet little Baby was made? I've been going bat-shit over the years searching for info! All i get when i show it is offers for good money for it due to it's sound & excellent condition. i have read how Guild/Madeira overthe years has lost or destroyed records over the years. I'm definitely definitely not looking to sell, but i really would like to know it's year of origin. The lable inside has two underline marks, top is model#, which is smeared & the second line directly under it reads a seven digit serial # starting with 66. TI own a Madeira 6string acoustic left to me by my father, which he was given by a terminal cancer friend in the early 80's. Any feedback of it's value or history would be appreciated. The inner tag does say "Madeira, Model A30MF, adjusted and distributed by exclusively by Guild". I just noticed that the back of the neck is really worn. I have a Martin and Taylor, besides my electrics, and basses, I keep it on a stand to play occasionally, keep fresh strings on it, just because it is special, that it was my first, and money was hard to earn and save at 16 and 17 years old. Mostly lower register, 5th frett and below. Only marks are the burns on the fretts where I played a lot of notes on those fretts, and chords. I payed somewhere in the range of $400-$450, don't remember exactly, just that was $400 something. It is beautiful to behold still, 38 years later. I still have it, completely all blond, maple body, neck and frett board. I bought my first guitar in 1974 with a combination of grass cutting money and money I made working off shore on the oil rigs one summer before my highschool senior year.
