Glad to see you scored one and an original owner with 10 modules to boot. Good for you and Congratulations. Hope you like a fat neck as this one has a big thick neck but plays very nicely. Will be awaiting the photos.

It's an Illinois guitar...should be here on Friday according to the UPS folks. I'll get the normal pics this coming weekend.

I've got loooong fingers, Arthur...so I should be able to handle a fat necker just fine. I already know that I'm gonna be needin one batwing.

Correction....12 modules:

2 Flangers
Phase Shifter
Dynamic fuzz
FrogNose - Headphone Amp
2 Envelope followers
Compressor
Octave
Treble booster
Tank Tone
Power Overdrive

Here's a link to a couple of the pics sent by the previous owner:

Welcome to the Leslie West club JD. There can't be that many of them, and they are the only model that had that shape... ever! Much nicer than mine, but then again, I plan to put lots more wear on it anyway.

Looks like a very nice one. You will enjoy the neck and it sounds great. Great score on the X120 and the modules.

Well....I didn't get the guitar on Friday. My neighbors let me down. I went over next door on last Thursday and asked if they were going to be home the next afternoon and would they mind catching UPS for me. They said sure, we'll be around. Cathy and I had to be in Raleigh that day (Friday) for the funeral of her best friend of 35 years who passed last week.....something I couldn't miss....although Cathy did ask me if I wanted to stay home while she went by herself. I knew that was loaded.

I left a note on the front door asking the UPS driver to deliver next door for the signature....and he did. THEY WEREN'T HOME !

So he left a form on their door for Monday delivery.....4:19 P and I'm sitting here by the door waiting.

When we returned home at 6P that day, I went next door and they werent home then either....as I was walking back home, they drove up. She said that they were on a "date" and they forgot.

I'm torqued still.....I've done a lot for those folks. Cut grass, bagged leaves, cleared gray water lines, replaced garage door, powerwashed deck....on and on. I'm torqued still.

4:23 and the truck still isn't here.

JD - Your neighbors need a wake-up call. I'd be upset after all you've done for them. That's a BAD let down there. I'd rather have had a "no, can't guarantee we'll be here" instead of an "I forgot".

I'm sure it will all work out in the end and I wish you happiness with that guitar.
