I'm mainly posting this hoping someone can help me alittle. I have a X320 Electra thats in what i'd call near mint shape. It has all the original hardware..i have no clue what kind. It has the 4 knobs(2 for main control, 2 for effects)the 2 flip switches to engage the effects, and the 5 position turn switch to choose the pickups.The effects work.I have the fuzz and another type fuzz module deals. The black box deal works to.It has all the gold metal,Nice bright pearl inlays.Les paul body style.Its a like dark red stain, absolutely beautiful still.Got the case, allthough kinda ruff.I just want someone that knows about this guitar to get ahold of me to explain it.

Sound : 10
I've only been playing for a little over a year, but this guitar rocks.I will say the stock pickups could go...although it sounds awesome now. Just kinda distorted at times.I like to play kinda hard punchy riffs and it does the job running through a peavey bandit 112transtube set on thrash-gain, with presence and amp power set high.When you hit the Low E string noted at about the 8,9,10 frets it has a irriatating buzz. Other than that i get a fat steel string tone out of it.Also theres alot of hum at certain settings, but it is possibly my amp.Oh well..i space it out anyway

Action, Fit, & Finish : 10
I'm not quite sure what action is but it tunes good, i can easily adjust the pickups and bridge to alot of different settings.Bookmatched.....????Probably..lol I cant find any flaws or rusty metal. The gold is still nice and dark and shiny, the tuning knobs are a little lighter.All controls are perfect. The effects hardware is loose and moves around and the effects for the last knob(the one that makes it scream...)will cut out.

Reliability/Durability : 10
i've had it only like 6 months but i love it.I put my peavey predator plus away and havent really touched it since.Other owners will say you could use this guitar to break a door down..then plug it in and play.This one i have is solid...couldnt be more solid.I lucked out by tradin my cousin a crappy old effects set up for it.If i played live i'd gig with it...after i fixed the loose effects problem.

Customer Support : 5
I'm hoping someone will read this and give me an idea how to fix the loose effects and also some of the ways they set it up. Thats somethin i know nothing accurate about...i just loosen this.tighten that..lower this....that type of playing.

Overall Rating : 10
hmmm...i seemed to answer all these questions already.Just please someone....email me with some advise or just to have me tell you more.My email is--> peavey4me2@yahoo.com
