New X-150

[keith7940236]

Here's a photo of my new late '90's X-150. I have been searching for a laminated archtop for awhile and finally had an opportunity to trade for this one. I am really impressed with how comfortable the neck is. I'm going to be replacing the neck pick up soon to something a little cleaner and darker. Eventually I'd like to acquire a single pickup version, but for now, I am really enjoying this guitar.
Merry Christmas to me!!

Fancy meeting you here, Keith (fellow HOC'er)!

I am looking out for a project X170 or X500. I just love fixing up guitars that have otherwise been discarded.

Hi Barry,
Does this qualify as "dual addiction"? Good luck with your search, if I come across one I'll let you know!

Look at the ghouls thread for the guys that strip Guilds and sell the parts.

Wow! Another beautiful Guild Archtop. They don't just make guitars, they make artwork. I bet she's a dream to play. Enjoy!

Thanks! Where is this Ghouls thread?

Edit: I think I found it. I will keep an eye on it but probably won't be able to snag anything until next summer.

Maybe...but I am also pretty active on 2 Gretsch boards (for my old 6120 which was a serious basket case). Triple addiction?

Could you post a link or direct me to the "Ghouls thread" ?

If you use the search function to look up "ghoul" it is, other than this thread, the only thread that comes up.
