Traditional Hollow Body with solid top
The basis for the vibrant sound of the Guild A-150 Savoy is the traditional hollow body construction. A solid spruce top on a body of laminated curly maple ensures for a lively sound with a deep bass foundation and silky brilliance in the trebles. The three-piece neck made of mahogany and a narrow center strip of maple also has a powerful "Vintage Soft and profile, which provides the authentic Vintage feeling when playing the 20-fret ebony fingerboard.
Floating Pickup
The perfect jazz tone of the A-150 Savoy Hollow Body guitar is based on the floating DeArmond 1000 Rhythm Chief pickup in neck position. With its open, warm tone and sensitive dynamic response, the pickup captures every nuance of the guitar's playing in detail and expertly translates articulate chord playing and lead lines. Inconspicuously placed volume and tone controls under the pickguard also allow precise adjustment of the sound.
Traditional Hardware
Last but not least, the A-150 Savoy AntiqueBurst Archtop guitar comes with a coherent hardware configuration in Vintage-Style. From the stylish harp tailpiece, the strings pass over a traditional ebony archtop bridge, whose compensated string rest promises clean intonation. The headstock also features a bone nut and Grover Sta-Tite Open-Gear tuners for accurate and stable tuning tuning.
