Bought this X170T in "mint" condition, which it is. Mostly.
It's hard to see in the pics, but the top is not the same shade as the sides. When I dug a bit I discovered that the reason it's mint is that the person I bought it from bought it from a doctor who bought it and hung it on his wall, apparently in the sunlight. As a result, the top is significantly paler that the back and sides which really irritates me because i love the deep Tennessee Orange of a fine X170T.
This pic kind of shows it. See how the cutaway is a deep rich orange? That's what the top should look like. The top looks like a creamsicle with way too much cream. It makes me sad.
And yes, I'll get over it because I got it for a great price and it's a fabulous guitar.
