It's a lovely 1992 model. I've replaced the ebony bridge with an intonatable regular gibson one. I still have the original one though, of course. It has a few cracks in the binding on the top of the neck but nothing major. Amazing guitar! I can't gush enough. It has outlasted my 70s Gibson 335 among lots of other 'quality' instruments. I play reasonably heavy music on it too, have a listen: http://www.myspace.com/mechanomusic I'm just a young lad of 19, after all
Here's a video of me playing it

I bought it site unseen from a local trading site, because it was the biggest hollowbody I could find and afford. I love the look, feel and sound of big guitars.
Does anyone have any info on the type of pickups in this? They are super high output, in a very toneful way. Way higher than the PAFs in my 335.
Also, are these x500 some sort of copy of a Gibson guitar? I don't mean to offend anyone with that question, the guitar absolutly stands up on it's own merits.
Ahh, I can't express how much I love this guitar!!
