While sparingly little is known about this rare instrument, with few examples known to exist, the short-lived X-1 was manufactured by Fernandes in Japan for the US domestic market. Dating to a period of production where Fernandes was endorsed by Brad Gillis of Night Ranger, this X-1 is essentially a hardtail version of the EX-85, featuring neck-through construction, lightning bolt inlays and gold-plated brass hardware.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe pair of humbuckers are wound hot, metering at 15k ohms in both positions. These potent pickups provide plenty of power and punch, maintaining a tight and crisp sound in high gain situations, due in part to the solid brass bridge. This X-1 weighs only 6lbs 15oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium D, measuring .825” 1st fret, .880” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Rosewood, pearloid lightning bolt inlay\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, leveled\/crowned, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 25”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1.650” (42mm)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Gotoh\u003cbr\u003e\n-Headstock: Unique tip shape for USA market distribution\u003cbr\u003e\n-Markings: “Rock Guaranteed” decal on back of peghead\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Humbucker x2 (15k ohms)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume, Tone, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: Full-size 500k pots (one replacement)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Brass bridge with block saddles, dome-top knurled knobs\/pickup surrounds\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: 5-prefix (1985), bridge pickup cavity\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss White finish exhibits subtle yellowing of the clear coat, with some wear on top from wrist jewelry, finish checking at the heel-less neck contour, faint buckle worming on the bass-side of the back, and a few additional minor marks.
