Inspired by iconic designs of the 1950s, the
Guild Aristocrat HH Trans Black Burst stands out with its chambered solid body, a clever luthiery choice that combines the sustain and stability of a solid body with the light weight and resonance of a hollow one. The result: a well-balanced and comfortable guitar, ideal for long sessions on stage or in the studio.
The body and set neck are both crafted from mahogany, providing a warm, woody tone with excellent depth. The neck’s smooth, comfortable profile is topped with a 12” radius Pau Ferro fingerboard, offering great ergonomics for both chords and lead playing. With 22 frets and a short 24.75" (629 mm) scale, the Aristocrat is equally suited for expressive bends and groovy rhythm work.
Loaded with two Alnico II HB-2 humbuckers, the Aristocrat HH delivers rich, round, and articulate tones that shine in blues, rock, R&B, and beyond. A 3-way toggle switch lets you easily switch between the neck pickup, bridge pickup, or a blend of both, giving you everything from silky cleans to character-filled drive.
Its striking Trans Black Burst finish adds a sophisticated and distinctive aesthetic, while vintage-style open-gear tuners and classic hardware enhance its retro charm. The factory-fitted 10–46 gauge strings provide great balance and comfort right out of the case.
Lightweight, well-crafted, expressive, and visually compelling, the Guild Aristocrat HH Trans Black Burst is designed for discerning musicians seeking a highly musical and inspiring instrument for everyday use.
