X375

Did anyone here pickup that X375 from Elderly earlier this week? It looked like a good deal if the neck wasn't too bad.

This one?

Awesome looker at a nice price, but it seems to come with a lot of question marks. I bought a 66 Starfire V from them last month and they were very good and professional during the sale. I had questions about their condition appraisal (some binding separation). They agreed with me and were appropriately apologetic, and then we worked out a price and repair deal that I was happy with. The guitar is beautiful -- like it sat under someone's bed for forty-four years.

Wasn't me - good thing I missed that, I need another Franz-equipped hollowbody like I need a hole in the head...

That awful Melita bridge would pay for a lot of the work already! :mrgreen:

Ok, glad I missed that one. I would have pulled the trigger on that and had to sleep in the car for a couple of months. :?

Yep, that's it. I wanted to pull the trigger on that one real bad. I was only concerned because they said that it needed a re-fret to straighten the neck. They said it was a refinned sunburst, but the model # (X375) is the natural one. I think it may not have been a refin, I don't think you could remove a burst finish that cleanly. I missed calling the shop on Tuesday about it, and when I called Wed. it was sold.

Yeah, Jeff, I'm still kicking myself for not buying your T-100. <wince>

In a year you'll be kicking yourself for not buying my Super! 8)
