There's a white X165 on there too that I hardly ever see.

I bought the X150 and the X165.

The X150 was priced about right in the current market. $265 for a peace-sign guitar with some cosmetic issues and a need for a replacement switch. I wish I could get the peace sign with the string-thru-body... I have three X150s but if the aforementioned combo comes up on eBay you'll need a Centurion Card to outbid me.

The X165 was $132.50 or something like that. It arrived last night. It's in MUCH better condition than the pictures indicated and it plays like a dream. I cannot believe what a fantastic guitar this turned out to be... unbelievable. I have another X165PW but I might put it up for sale now.

Nice ones Jack - I thought I was gonna sneak away with both - but oh well. Can you tell me if that is definitely a 165 not a 155? Also, if I remember correctly, it had supercharger knobs - is that a fact? That would be a very nice score.

The X155's are Hardtails, have the tone push/pulls, and are pretty rare!

Jead, msg me next time and I'll lay back. I'd sell you the X150 for what I paid.

The X165 is DEFINITELY an X165. I already had one of each - an X155SE in Pearl White and an X165PW - and this is just like the latter, not the former.

They are NOT Supercharger knobs. They are just labeled "Coil Tap" and "Phase Reverse".

Thanks for the info and the offer Jack - Right now I have my sights set on a Thinline so I'd have to pass on the 150.
