Here are some better pictures of my new X-150. This guitar apparently was only built for a few years at the Corona facility. I believe that it shares the same dimensions as the short lived X-180 from the same location. I'd be interested if it is based on the Fender D'Aquisto as it is definitely a different animal than the Westerly X-150. This guitar is very well balanced, extremely comfortable (16" X 3") and has a slightly different neck shape than my previous Westerly X-150D. I have a picture of it next to a Heritage Custom Eagle to show the relative size. The Eagle has a 17" LB and a 25.5" scale.

Enjoy your X150!

I'm very happy with mine too. There's nothing wrong w Corona archtops IMO. This one is just the right body size and scale and has a great neck and feel. I had a Pete Biltoft blade style pickup from Vintage Vibe Guitars installed and made a few modest cosmetic tweaks (I can't help it). This one is usually first grab for jazz gigs, and sounds great through almost any amp.
