Lightweight Solidbody Electric with Gnarly P-90s

Looking for a classic-styled solidbody that won’t weigh you down? Then check out the Guild Aristocrat P90. Its chambered mahogany body resonates like there’s no tomorrow, while its eye-catching carved spruce top gives you vibrant clarity and unbelievable articulation. You’ll love wrapping your hand around the Aristocrat P90’s comfortable C-shaped neck, while unleashing your full arsenal of techniques on its smooth-playing pau ferro fingerboard. Love classic tones? Who doesn’t! Well, this axe delivers them in spades, by way of dual Franz P-90 Soapbar pickups. Small-but-important touches like gold hardware, ABS fingerboard binding, a bone nut, and a Guild Tune-o-matic bridge and harp-style tailpiece put the Aristocrat P90 in the upper echelon of sub-$1,000 electric solidbodies. The Aristocrat P90 is guaranteed to keep you playing — in comfort — for hours!

Resonant mahogany topped with eye-catching carved spruce

The Aristocrat P90 features a chambered mahogany body that’s capped with an eye-catching top of carved spruce. The mahogany teems with fullness and warmth, while the spruce injects your playing with vibrance, clarity, and unheard-of articulation. And let’s face it — carved spruce looks amazing! On top of that, the Aristocrat P90’s chambered body keeps its weight light, while adding extra resonance. If you’re searching for classic tones with over-the-top resonance and sustain, the Aristocrat P90 is the perfect electric guitar for you.

Classic tone from a pair of P-90 pickups

Armed with a pair of Franz P-90 Soapbar pickups, your Guild Aristocrat P90 will reward you with a wide range of classic tones. These pups exhibit a gnarly, yet completely transparent sound, with mids so thick you can eat them with a spoon. Run these pups into a clean amp, and you’ll enjoy a muscular blend of snap, punch, and bite. Park them in front of a high-gain amp, and you’ll experience paint-peeling grind. And the Aristocrat P90 is sonically flexible, thanks to individual volume and tone controls for each pickup.

High-quality appointments for great performance

On top of great looks and tone, the Aristocrat P90 sports high-quality features for years of reliable performance. Like the binding on its pau ferro fingerboard, which looks great but also adds an ultra-smooth playing feel. A bone nut enhances your tone and sustain. A Guild Tune-o-matic bridge and harp-style tailpiece combination looks amazing and offers rock-solid intonation. Guild vintage-style open-gear tuners with oval buttons complete the package. The guitarists here at Sweetwater are impressed by the inherent quality of the Aristocrat P90 — it’s a top-shelf solidbody electric guitar that every player will appreciate.

Beautiful, bright, and unique

I wanted to just enter an intial review of my new Guild Aristocrat P90 guitar. I was looking at several different guitars with P90's. Guild, per review, had great workmanship and the Franz P90's had a great reputation. I have received that guitar. It is beautiful and the Franz P90's deliver exactly that old-school P90 jazz sound I was looking for through my Roland JC-40. What a beautiful combination. The workmanship on the guitar is great - fret edges, finish, hardware . . . no complaints. I highly recommend this ESPECIALLY at the price.
Music background: Player for 50 years - now mostly for my church and for fun.

Quality

This guitar is made so well. The p90s have a warm , classic sound. I highly recommend the Aristocrat as an all around guitar for most styles of music. Fantastic !

Guild Aristocrat P-90

After forty years of playing guitar, and going through multiple configurations of guitars, I have finally found the one that I cannot put down; THE GUILD ARISTOCRAT P-90. In this guitar I have found the smooth sound that jazz musicians like and the biting overdriven sound that inspires most of the younger musicians I meet. Give this guitar a test-drive, you will love it! The finish is impeccable, and with a minor adjustment to the neck relief, it plays with very little effort up and down the neck. Buy whatever guitar suits your pleasure, but don't buy a guitar without trying out the Guild Aristocrat P-90 First.

Very cool !

I was thinking I would have to change pick-ups , but these pick-ups sound great. No finish issues. The strings it comes with are 11 to 49 , and I play with 10 to 46, but these are not to bad to play with. The guitar sounds fantastic through my 70's Super Reverb amp. I am very pleased with playing clean or overdriven , this thing sounds great. For the money I don't think you could do much better. I am very happy I got this guitar.
Music background: 40 years playing

Stunning guitar

Another excellent guitar from Devin and Sweetwater. Sounds great, love the P90's. You can't go wrong with sweetwater, I'm at seven guitars and counting(waiting on another Ibanez, that will make eight), also pedals and amps. I recommend the Guild super quality for the price. Cheers!
Music background: Pro solo pianist/vocalist since 1969.
