Hi all
i am a newbie but owned a 1959 Granada and loved it, especially the neck carve.
I am looking at a 1989 x160 and have a couple of questions/ would appreciate opinions on -
(1) neck carve? I like a thicker, wider neck, but thickness is key for me what is a an1989 x160 likely to be ?
(2) im assuming at that age its regular HB1s?
which is great, but i hear they can be a little bright , but also understand 200 k pots is the norm so
(3). Is swapping to 500 pots a realistic option ?
(4) with a big soundpost im assuming fallen tops arent an issue, but anything else to watch for ?
thanks in advance
Chris
