Hey everyone,
I'm new to the board and thought I'd show you the ace up my sleeve 8) . I got this beauty back in '96 from a shop in So.Cal.
I had started looking for a Gibson es350 and the prices back then were out of my range and sadly they still are. Then i saw Nick Moss (then playing for the late great Jimmy Rogers) playing an X500 which he said was a 1953 prototype? It sounded fantastic!! He mentioned the prices were reasonable for these mysterious Guilds.............hmmmmm. The voice(s) in my head said "game on"! About 6mo. later I came across this beauty on, I think, Gbase or something like that back then. The price was right and she found a new home. :mrgreen: I've played it out on many a-gig, and with the right amp it's got "tone from the gods"!
Enough of my babbling, heres some pics.
