Anniversary plate says x145 but it has the wrong pu config (should be S-S-S). Seller thinks 1 of the pu's might be original but it is a HB. Did someone put a neck from an x145 on an x130? Obvious refinish and something about the pickguard doesn't look quite right.

lots of customization going on there.

both body and neck stripped and refinished. could have been a x145 neck onto another phoenix as well. the closeup of the neck plate shows the fit is abnormal, which could be explained by swapping and earlier neck onto a later body, as the later necks had a wider heel, and this one does not match up like it should. could just be that the body stripping and sanding took a little too much wood off too...

custom pickguard for sure.

knobs and neck plate are original (or at least matching)
