Description: A Blacked-out Twist on Guild’s High-class Aristocrat A full hollowbody through and through, the Guild M-75 Aristocrat Special pays tribute to Guild’s compact 6-string electric offerings of the early 1950s — and you can only get it at Sweetwater! This slim single-cut starts with an arched spruce top, fit with mahogany for the back and sides. It’s a rich and resonant tonewood combination that results in both a pleasing acoustic projection for couch strumming and a deep, complex character when it comes time to plug in. Moreover, as this guitar lacks the F-holes and sheer surface area of many archtop hollowbodies, it’s also far less prone to feedback when you turn up the heat. Next, two classic DeArmond Dynasonic pickups thump with the rich, powerful single-coil sound that launched countless rock, country, and rockabilly records in the 1950s and beyond. What about playability?

This slim single-cut starts with an arched spruce top, fit with mahogany for the back and sides.

Moreover, as this guitar lacks the F-holes and sheer surface area of many archtop hollowbodies, it’s also far less prone to feedback when you turn up the heat. Next, two classic DeArmond Dynasonic pickups thump with the rich, powerful single-coil sound that launched countless rock, country, and rockabilly records in the 1950s and beyond. What about playability? A 3-piece mahogany/maple neck in Guild Vintage Soft U profile, a 9.5-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, and 22 jumbo frets split the difference between vintage vibe and modern fleet-fingered performance. Bookended by lock-tight Grover Sta-Tite open-gear tuners and a TOM-style bridge with a harp tailpiece, the Guild M-75 is a compact, versatile, and remarkably easy-playing homage to Guild’s Hoboken, New Jersey, heyday.Dual DynaSonic pickups deliver timeless single-coil sound Boasting the twang of a classic single-coil and the bite of a P-90, the Guild M-75’s DynaSonic pickups exhibit a wonderful full-range tone with sweet, glossy highs and tight, well-rounded lows. Run these pickups 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 and master tone control give you the flexibility to dial in your sound, even in a fast-paced stage environment.Comfortably slimmed-down body While it’s by all accounts a fully hollowbody instrument, the M-75’s profile is far thinner than your average archtop. In fact, the M-75 strikes the perfect balance between playing comfort and rich, complex hollowbody tones, and it’s also less prone to feedback than a deep-bodied archtop. Finally — and most importantly for Sweetwater’s couch-bound strummers — the M-75 retains the formidable hollowbody unplugged projection so beloved by players who prefer to practice without plugging in.Old-school charm meets modern playability The Guild M-75 Aristocrat Special’s neck is highly resistant to shifting in setup thanks to its 3-piece mahogany and maple construction. This fine quality is further aided by the neck’s somewhat stout profile, boasting Guild’s Vintage Soft U profile. This pleasing shape supplies a touch of vintage charm without scaring off players more familiar with paper-thin modern neck profiles. Plus, the elegant ebony fingerboard’s modern 9.5-inch radius and 22 jumbo frets form a thoroughly bend-friendly foundation for the lead players in the audience.Guild M-75 Aristocrat Special Features: A modernized tribute to Guild’s M-75 guitars of the early 1950s, wearing a charming blacked-out finish only available at Sweetwater!
