Hi Friends, Sorry I haven't check in in a while, but after reading the recent thread of the other reddish sunburst X150 I decided to post mine I recently bought from ebay that Kent was talking about. Mine also has no label or any glue residue that one was ever there. It had a white TRC on it and when I took it off had Silvertone written on the back side the same as the other. The pickguard was studded with rhinestones at some point but the guitar is in the same basic condition as the other shown. Same finish checking as well. The guitar is entirely original though Ziz is fabricating me a new pickguard and TRC to make it look better. It also has the kluson tuners with the plastic buttons. Mine is actually the 5th red sunburst '53/'54 X150 or X100 that I have ever seen. Ziz has two, Wilfred has one, I have one and I was sent a photo of one from the Netherlands, I believe, on my facebook page. None of these X150s have labels or serial numbers. I would hope that Hans may check in and give any info he may have about these early rare finish Guilds. The guitar is in really great condition with some small binding issues that I don't really care about at this point. It plays very well with a straight neck and good frets. The sound from it's black franz neck pickup is loud and strong and not muffled at all. Here are some photos. I will also be sanding and staining the peghead to remove the scratches.
Thanks for looking. MB
