There was definitely nothing wrong with this axe... I tell you this whole process really reminded me of the NFL draft... only you don't know what order the pick is gonna be, Maddening! You're trying to 2nd guess what the other guys would do, and we really weren't putting on our poker faces, it was really casual, relaxed and fun, we were being honest. I knew that the hard luck would go first, after that I'm not sure what the other guys would do, but Redeye already has a near mint Outlaw, so Robot_Dr was the wild card in this whole thing for me.

I'm glad I didn't have first pick. I think there was just such a huge variety of stuff and every Guitarist has his own curious desires. The three guys that attended just got attracted to other things.

Bottom line is I did finally get a confirmation from Jarthur, after a couple funny drunken emails, and he's the new owner of this wonderful offering. I'll be shipping out this week and hopefully he'll take a picture of him with it and post it on this thread with his thoughts before he leaves the country!

There was nothing wrong with this guitar at all. Sounded and played great, albeit perhaps not quite as 'hot' as the hard luck Electra (pardon the pun...)

I was pretty torn between the x130NA and the x135. I am a sucker for the natural bodies, and this one is very nice, but something about the Hard Luck x135 just spoke to me, and ultimately, was the one I chose. And, her body is 'natural' too, in a sort of 'horrible accident' kind of way...

Jarthur - you are going to love this axe.
