I've had my latest X-150 Savoy (FMIC - Corona - or so the inside label says), an '06, for a few weeks now.
I initially tweaked the trussrod to set it up for Thomastik-Infeld "Swings" in 0.013" for jazz duties, and I thought I got it a bit TOO straight (as in perfectly straight, I usually like a little relief).
But I figured I'd let it alone for awhile and see how it settled in.
Welp, after some weeks of gigging it in resturants in our lil' ol' "wallpaper" jazz (quiet background standards), it hasn't budged AND hasn't needed any further tweaking.
The verdict: this is one of the finest necks I've ever owned on any guitar, and I've had plenty. The action can go much lower than I like and it still won't buzz anywhere, and where it is now is just such a joy to play. Every fret is like a little jewell and the sound is superb all up and down the neck.
Especially wunnerful neck here!
I'll have to get some pics up, but for now just squint and imagine the usual beautiful flame maple blonde recent model two-pickup Savoy.
Veddy veddy happy man here. I'm considering selling off my partsocaster as I haven't had a use for it in weeks. 8)
