I knew two guitars were going to show up today, but I also found a jem of a headless Bass on the Local CraigsList here and couldn't help myself. It'll be for sale soon (as I already have my go-to X640 Active Phoenix Bass) but it's in pretty sweet shape:

The real prize was this X420 Custom Pro that I got from fellow member 335srule that he recently got out of hock, but just couldn't keep it. Finish is in above average shape, and the only thing I can see missing is the pickup selector switch tip:

The other guitar I got from 335 was this X935cs Endorser, the top is probably the nicest of my Endorsers, very few flaws and shows little play wear, however it has a separation in the fretboard that will need to be dealt with as well as getting the Pickups straightened out (included a set of blond MMK's!!!). It actually doesn't look bad with gold covered pickups, I'll give them a spin before replacing them for sure:

What can I say, I wont be repeating this feat anytime soon, what a haul! Cheers, Mike.

I love 'em Mike......and I'm glad you could help Tim out with his Electra problem.

I almost grabbed that CS, but a couple other guitars popped up while he was thinkin about selling it to me. When he finally got back to me, I just couldn't swing it at the time. From your pic of the top....looks like my mistake. I should have gone back on beenie weenies and peanut butter.

Oh....you certainly have a nack of photographing flamed tops.
