I had a Guild X-79 (the black sparkle) I bought in a pawn shop for $150...awesome guitar...the lead guitarist in ourband (I'm the bass player, but this was my guitar for playing around) loved it and would play it on BOC tunes (especially Godzilla)...anyway, cool metal guitar...lots of fun...and rare...got poor and had to sell it, and will kick myself forever.

Looked long and hard for its bass sibling, the X-702, but they are SUPER rare and I haven't had a serious shot at one...

Now that's an interesting beast. It would have to be a pretty sizeable body blank! I reckon you could just about get the shape (slightly scaled down) out of a chopped up lefty explorer body - except for the lower horn.

Yep, the short horn with the PUP selector switch is the only bit that would be missing otherwise very close indeed.
