Hello and welcome to the site. Thats a clean looking guitar you have. Does it have the phase reverse along with the coil tap?

Is it a set neck? I think some X199's were, some weren't. Check out the Index Portion of the website, the Finish color can sometimes help nail down the model. How much does it weigh? That X189 that RobotDr brought to ElectraFest was the heaviest guitar there are 9 lbs 12 oz!!!

Since we dont have a Photo of an X-199 in Blue Burst, how about some shots for the index page. I'm not to good at that as Pro Endorser will tell you, but I dont think there are any X-199 models shown.

That looks exactly like my Westone Spectrum GT, right down to the Bendmaster bridge so the issue that decides it's identity will be the set (X199)/bolt (X185) neck one. Those knobs look to be the reverse taper ones that were, I believe, peculiar to Westone; the Electras had speed knobs??

Anyway, whatever the ID, that is surely BEAUTIFUL, and I like it lots!! The blueburst is just such a fabulous paint scheme, :love: and this is in superb condition; good find, mate!!

It's standard thread pitch, and I believe accurate replacements are available from the usual parts sources.
