These marks do not appear on other parts of the guitar. The top has a number of marks that do not show clearly in the photos – or in person, until you’re within a foot or so, some of which are too deep to buff out.

The roots of Guild archtop guitars go back to a labour conflict at Epiphone during 1951. The X-170 was introduced in 1985, and produced until 2002. Having said this, there are a lot worse guitars out there, and as well as being historically important, the 1820 bass can certainly provide the goods when required.Guild archtop guitars, like this 1985 X-170 Amber ‘Mini Manhattan’ built in Westerly Rhode Island, have been popular with jazz and blues players for decades. Over the course of the 70s, the Japanese output improved dramatically, and in many ways these early 70s models are a low point for the brand. These new Epiphones were based on existing Matsumoku guitars, sharing body shapes, and hardware, but the Epiphone line was somewhat upgraded, with inlaid logos and a 2x2 peghead configuration. The Matsumoku factory had been producing guitars for export for some time, but the 1820 bass (alongside a number of guitar models and the 5120 electric acoustic bass) were the first Epiphone models to be made there. By the end of the 1960s, a decision had been made to move Epiphone guitar production from the USA (at the Kalamazoo plant where Gibson guitars were made), to Matsumoto in Japan, creating a line of guitars and basses significantly less expensive than the USA-built models (actually less than half the price).
