anyone know how much the Westerly X500 and X700 sold for new back in the mid to late 1990s? (List price and street price?)

Hans would know for sure, but I "believe" that your serial number places it in the first year of production in 1994.

I'm pretty sure that's right, but I never saw any discussion of total production. I didn't realize it only amounted to a few hundred.
I might be mistaken, but it seems like most of those I've seen have had the standard Guild pickguard on them, whereas mine has a logoless multiply stairstep pickguard. I think they might have been trying to make it more deluxe than the standard guards, or maybe that's what was on everything around '94, but it's kind of generic-looking w/ no logo.
