UPS delivered a very cool X-175 today, and I'd love to share it with everyone here (where I've mostly been lurking for the past 10 years). But I don't seem to have enough rights to post pictures or attachments.
The guitar is in much better condition after 50 years than I am, and it plays and sounds like heaven. Looks to be 100% original--tuners, pickups, knobs and deco pickguard. Even the original pamphlets and receipt from a store in Tulsa are still intact. Neck is 1 11/16 at the nut. Neck is straight and the action is low.
If you want to see it, RetroFret in Brooklyn still has it posted:

(I have never in my life been to a cooler guitar store than RetroFret. It's really worth finding.)
