The oddball Guild X series guitars from the '80's continue to intrigue the hell out of me. This is especially true of the X-79 and the reverse body X-80.
I dig the 24-fret ebony fingerboards, the huge frets, and the Kahler Flyer trems. The pointy headstocks on many of the X-79's are unique, but I really favor the ones with simpler headstock shapes. Some might say over the top, but in the less garish colors, I find these to be quite elegant.
This is a cool example with a traditional Guild headstock.

Very tempting. But I just bought an X-80.

Mine has mystery pickups.
Hans, if you happen to read this thread, could you please ID these pickups and advise if are they possibly original to this guitar?
