[fonics2000]

I'm looking for a X170T in Tennessee Orange. Does anyone know of one for sale. If so please let me know.

Welcome fonics2000.

I have seen several of them on ebay over recent months, so keep looking, they are around.

Here is mine in its original form...

and with a recently added harp tailpiece and rosewood bridge...

The mod is fully reversible with no visible signs, and I may just revert back to the original bigsby in the future if my jazz kick ever comes to an end.

Best of luck with your search!

That's the one! That's a fine looking box and I bet it sounds as good as it looks. I had a 2000 X160 but the body depth was to thick--I believe it was 31/2". Can you tell me the width on yours? I've heard 2-21/2" which works great for me.

That reminds me of an Epiphone Wildkat, only much, much better because its a Guild. Epiphone called this color Sunrise Orange and was available in a limited run in 2006.

Rick,

I believe the X-170/T is 2 1/2, but I'm sure someone will chime in to confirm that. It does sound very good, and while I still like the sound of my X-500 a little better for jazz the X-170T is a much more comfortable guitar to play and is more versatile (IMHO).

Sweet looking guitar! It brings back the memory of an Epiphone Elitist Country Deluxe I bought a few years ago. I loved the look and sound of it, but beyond the 12th fret the board progressively and significantly veered away from the strings. I bought it new, and unfortunately didn't notice it before I brought it home. I tried to have the seller ship it back to Epiphone to have it fixed, but he insisted there was nothing wrong. I just couldn't get past that, so I got my money back. While I love how my 170 plays and sounds and think it's a better guitar, I still wish I had the Epiphone (in proper condition, of course).

Nice LP covers Dave, THat Grateful Dread one is a bit of a rarity, and which is the one with the girl in the bathing suit: looks familiar but cant place it ?

Cheers, Ian

Ian,

Look closely at the LP Cover. It has the band and the LP title written in the upper left hand corner.

Rolling Stones - Made in the Shade. Here are some pictures that show all of the covers I have up. I have many more, but of course wall space is limited.

That's awesome Jake.
