This one looks almost new and the gold hardware and finish is not even worn. States a 1 owner original guitar. this is one of the nicest all original and clean that I have ever seen. The price will give you sticker shock at $800 but then again you don't see many of these models in player grade much less as nice as this one is so I guess it all depends on how bad you want one. Good Hunting

:love: I contacted the owner and he was nice enough to send me photos and info on this one. He is the original owner and this one is the best example I have ever seen. It is as close to NOS as it gets. He played it but loved it and cared for it same as I do with my Electras. When played it was wiped down and cleaned and you can tell it was well cared for and really not played much. The gold hardware shows mostly no wear at all as does the finish. Just a little usage shows on the tuners gold finish but this is expected with any gold hardware. If you want a pristine collector grade X110 then I believe this one will be hard to beat. 100% all original including the case. This one is I believe a 1976-1977 model and has the open book headstock so if you are looking for the open book then this one is awesome Hope this one finds a home with someone that will appreciate it. :love: :love: :love: 8) :up:

I want one of these. But I'm hoping to find one for considerably less money. I'll admit that one in this condition commands a premium, but I would think that 550-600 would be a more than fair price today....but that's just my opinion. I guess I just don't want one bad enough yet.

I'm gonna quit thinking about this one too. Right now. yep....quit thinking about it. QUIT!!!

I would tend to agree that this one has a high price but I have seen the few that have been player grade/ mods go pretty high also and this one is pristine. I have never seen one this nice anywhere since I have been watching the net. Will be interesting to see what this one does.
