I will be selling my Endorser, Great guitar but has been modified, Great body condition as far as wear, frets are pretty clean as far as wear, looks like pickups have been changed out or gold covers put on, will be checking on that later today. For those that I have talked to recently I returned to the hospital with blood clotting again at the first of the year, Gods hands saved me again, Need these funds to get my 420 out of pawn, will be asking 550 / 50 shipping, I had posted pics with Morterman I think awhile back of the guitar, If I need to repost them again I will with picks of the pickups open to see what they are. To all that reply, please be patient as I,m still gimping around and am a little slow on the computer stuff, By the way, I found a Fender Prosonic tube amp at a local Pawnshop and put this guitar thru some scales and bars and this thing sounded awesome, I play thru a Labseries L5 right now and the amp just wasnt made for this guitar. Hate to let her go but the 420 was to be my last guitar and hope fully with this sell I can get it back, now that I have talked your ear off let me know what you think, will respond as quickly as possible Tim Sr.

Tim sent me these photos when he first mentioned the X935, and I'll post them for him here

He has more pictures if you're interested. Condition wise, it looks excellent. Pickups have been changed (MMK's in that era would have allen head pole pieces), and I have a feeling the bridge and tailpiece are not original. Bridge should be all brass, this one appears to be chrome with brass saddles, and the stop tail looks chrome to me in the pics and should be gold plated. He also sent me a picture with the control cover off and it looks like the push/pull switches are wired up correctly. The rear pickup mounting ring is cracked, can't say about the neck mounting ring. The serial number is only 14 numbers from my wide flame made in June of 1983.

Overall it looks like a very nice guitar and case, and one that isn't offered all that often, so good luck Tim, and we hope you get your Semi-Hollow out of hock! Here is a picture of my two Cherry Sunbursts as comparison, cheers, Mike.

I would love to own one of these...but think some original pups for this one would be difficult to locate. Be interesting to know the pups in it now. Look like 70's Maxons.
