I am looking for an old (smaller) archtop and was considering an X-50. I don't see too many of these but there are certainly a lot of ES125's around. Anyone played them both?
Also, is there much difference in sound between the original plastic covered single coil pick-ups in the X-50 and the later metal covered ones?
Finally, am I correct, that the 125 is a bit deeper than the X-50 but the scale length is the same (24 3/4)?
By the way, I bought Hans' book and as everyone has said, it is a great guide for this sort of information. Those gorgeous pictures make you want to go out and get one of each!!
