Found this X420 Custom pro listed on Clist.Has hard case and looks original but need more detailed photos to be certain. Price is low at $450 so if anyone is looking for one they may want to check it out. :look: :look:

Arthur -

Thanks for your time and effort in regard to all the postings such as this one;

It seems that you are always are able to locate some of the crown jewels out in the guitar universe that are still available.

You'll like it Jack...the 420 is still one of my favorite players. I had one of these back in the late 70's early 80's when no one thought much of them. Kept it for the longest time. I have to admit though...it was my hot roddin days and I speeded it up a bit with old USA DiMarzios....something I wouldn't do now at all.

Got home last night at 1am with it.

It has some wear and damage which didn't show in the photos but it plays very well. It's also missing the pickguard. Better photos to come.

Alright, after two hours playing tonight I think I might like it better than my Gibsons and Heritages. Played through an Electro-Harmonix Germanium OD it sounds monstrous.
