Looks kinda decent, and might go cheap. Missing the bar for the Bigsby it seems. Also the pic of the neck (side angle) shows some disturbingly high action, as in possible warped neck? Maybe it's just loose or needs a shim, it does look like the neck pocket is separating. Could be an easy enough fix...

Check out the bridge - it's a classic.

I didn't look that closely at the bridge before....kinda frightening

It's a project of some sort to be sure. I'm gonna keep waiting for an x420, but was thinking at that potential price someone here may be interested in a project.

These earlier slimline models are of limited quality at best and are sorta hit and miss quality wise as they had several manufacturers. The wood on the bridge is most likely an issue for the high action and these models often need necks shims as they do tend to bow somewhat. A good project at best and could be saved with some work. The pups are single coils with covers so they look like humbuckers and the tuners are OK at best. At this price would be worth a shot for a good project I think. These are very lightweight guitars and when setup properly can play nicely but with the tuners may have problems staying in tune which is most likely why the Bigsby arm is missing as the Bigsby copy setups on these are very poor at best. Fun to play and would make a great starter guitar or low cost way to see if you like a hollowbody.
