WTB X-500

[shihan]

I recently reluctantly sold a beautiful ‘84 X-500. I loved everything about the guitar except the narrow 1 5/8” nut. I just couldn’t get used to it.
if anyone has an X-500 (or X-175 or perhaps X-150) with at least an 1 11/16“ nut they are willing to part with at a reasonable price, I’m interested.; PM me.
Thanks!

Typo for 1 11/16" ?

 

[shihan]

Yes, thanks for catching that.

Yeah, that’s what I need! I’d probably sound better if I just used one finger!

@shihan have you ever played one of the newer A-150?

 

[shihan]

Yes, but again, my nemesis In regards to most Guilds...the nut is too narrow.
I have given up on getting an X-500 or such; the price increases have put them out of reach for me.
I hope you’re enjoying my eX. I miss her.

There's an X-700 on Reverb.

Ah. I thought I saw a 1 11/16 spec somewhere and thought of you.
Your eX 500 is very much loved. Currently naked as I'm running without pick guard!
