What we have all been waiting for. Hey bluesypicky, give us a translation! :abnormal:
demo said:1953 X-175 versus a Newark Street X-175...
He is definitely convinced it's a 53, he even mentions that it's one of the very first ever made, and the 60 years gap between both.....
So what are the clues?
Honestly, I'm not crazy about the guy's playing or the sound he's getting out of either of them, but yes, they sound pretty similar, don't they? Still waiting to get my hands on a new one.Walter, what do you think? Sounds pretty darned good to me.

Oh, the old guitar he's playing is actually perfect for the comparison, because it's obviously the era of X175 that the Newark Street one is based on!Even if it is a 59 or 60 it is still nice to hear a comparison between the original Franz pups and the new ones.
