Hello Guild Friends. First of all I hope this photo shows up. I'm not the greatest at moving photos from one site to another. Check out this very rare 1953 X400. It's in very clean condition. No issues with playability or sound. Those franz pups are my favorite single coil pups. This guitar was on ebay a few weeks ago but I finally picked it up yesterday. The seller decided he did not want to ship and we live about 3 hours apart. It is all original, even the case. The only cosmetic flaw this guitar has is finish checking. It would go great with my '53 X440 as a matched set, but alas I am shipping this beauty to Arlen Roth on Monday. But I get to play it until then. For being a very large guitar with a 25.5" scale neck, this one plays with ease. Wish I was keeping it. It's a beauty.
BTW, I cannot believe that Starfire V on ebay with changed pickups and non original pickguard, that's not all that clean to begin with went for almost $2K. That's mind boggling to me.
