The black and bound model sells like hotcakes when they pop up...someone was trying to move a red and gold WITH A CASE here and couldn't sell it for weeks, if he ever sold it.
Also, they list this reissue as having a 34" scale on the website. The original is a 32" scale if I'm not mistaken. |

There may also be a certain number of perspective buyers who would appreciate the versatility of a second pickup.

I know the destroyer was an explorer rip off to begin with but thats just a little over the top.
I had a destroyer X guitar during the 80's and it was a nice guitar...fast action and great sounding. |

I couldnt even sell it on tb and had to trade it off , i dont see the demand for these.
I recorded my bands cd with it and it didnt sit in the mix well , maybe cuz of how the guy recorded it , he was pretty iffy. |
