A powerful evolution of the X series: performance and aesthetics at the forefront
The X-500 embodies the "extreme" DNA of the X series by pushing design and performance-oriented approach even further. The combination of selected woods, a roasted neck, and equipment designed for reliability makes it an electric guitar built to withstand modern playing, from studio to stage, without compromising precision or visual impact.
Sound
The mahogany body provides body and generous mids, with a naturally dense and punchy foundation, perfect for powerful rhythms. The flamed maple top adds clarity and attack, useful for maintaining definition in complex chords and fast riffs. On the electronics side, the HH configuration with Villain humbuckers featuring ceramic magnets and high output delivers a tight and precise signal: tight lows, sharp attacks, and excellent clarity under gain, while retaining dynamic responsiveness through volume and tone controls.
Recommended compatible accessories
To take advantage of the fixed bridge stability and 24.75" / 629 mm scale length, a set of electric guitar strings suited to your usual gauge will work perfectly, especially if you play in lower tunings (heavier gauges). If you use a strap during rehearsals or on stage, consider strap locks compatible with your strap to secure the instrument.
