Resonant mahogany topped with eye-catching flamed maple

The Aristocrat HH features a chambered mahogany body that’s topped with eye-catching flamed maple. This time-tested tonewood combination is at the center of some of the most emulated tones in rock history. The mahogany teems with fullness and warmth, while the maple injects your playing with a generous helping of bite and sustain. And let’s face it — flamed maple looks amazing! On top of that, the Aristocrat HH’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 HH is the perfect electric guitar for you.

Rich tone from a pair of humbucking pickups

Armed with a pair of HB-2 standard-sized Alnico II humbuckers, your Guild Aristocrat HH will reward you with a wide range of classic tones. These pups unleash fullness and sustain by the truckload, with enough PAF-like warmth to satisfy even the most discriminating of tone connoisseurs. Plug into a medium-gain amp, and you’ll experience glorious crunch and muscle. Park it in front of a high-gain amp, and you’ll enjoy fluid distortion with smooth attack and otherworldly sustain that’s tailor-made for blues-tinged hard rock leads. And the Aristocrat HH is sonically flexible, thanks to coil-splitting and individual volume and tone controls for each pickup.

High-quality appointments for great performance

On top of great looks and tone, the Aristocrat HH 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 Music Experience are impressed by the inherent quality of the Aristocrat HH — it’s a top-shelf solidbody electric guitar that every player will appreciate.
