That's most likely an X-500 Special with the "Special" being the Ebony finish and white pg.

I was looking at this guitar and asked Hans that question. He said the special was for the finish and the pickguard was not original. I received some additional photos from GC and it has had a refret with larger fret wire and they said that the nut width is 1 5/8”. The nut width in combination with the price is why I did not pursue further.

That’s a real beauty! I agree with BradK; narrow nut+big frets+price= nope.
the prices on X-500’s are skyrocketing, putting them out of my reach.

Lets save two pictures here: (the Hollywood GC could improve the picture background a bit...)

Here are a couple photos I received from GC that show the grain on the back through the ebony finish:
