That's right. Parker makes a good point. The PUs in the X-160 are going to be Dearmond 2000s, not the same as the Gretsch Dearmond Dynasonic reissues which are constructed more like the originals.Be aware the pickups are not "proper" Dynas. I like them, though.
There are also a few Gr***ch models you can try, but what about the new X175 Manhattan? MIK but well enough liked. Same pups as the X160
There's actually an early '60s Guild Duane Eddy DE-500 with Guild Dearmonds on Reverb right now, but the price is . . . well . . . ouch! And another on eBay, which is slightly less painful.
