Really don't have time to post much now, but I figured it was time I forced myself to get the ball rolling on these. Here are the beautiful ladies I've been hiding from you =)

This girl was nearly mint when I got her. I've literally added more blemishes in a year than she's acquired the rest of her life (a fact that breaks my heart, but I can't help but play her.)

This one has seen a little more love, and I'll likely be selling her in the very near future (along with 4-6 other guitars) because I just can't afford/give her attention. I will absolutely post more/higher quality/specific pictures on request, and I'll be including a deluxe epiphone hardcase.

That's all I have time for now, but feel free to inquire or drool over any of my guitars =).

I like the black one best.
As for the one you're selling, how much?
:D

Sentimentally I'm inclined to agree with you (I've nearly got the gold hardware just about right :)), but if you saw them irl I think you might change your mind.

It's darn sure not going to be no $75 or kamico acoustic! :wink: If you're serious PM and we'll talk.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer but is the x420 with the clear pick guard "Art's" Guitar that he had for sale last spring/summer? http://www.rivercityamps.com/electraforum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3712

I purchased the Endorser from him. His x420 looked gorgeous too.

Do any (or all three...) have the push/pull tone pots? I know there are a few topics on this already, seems that some did, some didn't. Not sure if this was something that SLM would take out on request, if they got ordered that way, or...

Very nice collection man, the three of them in a row reminds me of something... I just can't put my finger on it... (wink wink)

Take care, Mike.

The two VS's have the push/pull pots, but the standard custom pro does not. I'm fairly certain that all x420's had them stock (the wiring on my standard custom pro is not original - I'm not aware of a certifiably stock x420 without them), and I'm probably the instigator in at least a few of threads you're speaking of. Though, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if SLM pulled them out on request for "gibson" wiring.

Hrm? I haven't the faintest idea what you are insinuating...... :wink: [/end boldface lie]

Take care, Mike.

Let me know if you ever get bored of the black one.
:D

And Oreo, hope you find a good owner for it.
