Looks like it's in decent shape. These were only released in Japan & are awsome set neck Destroyers. I like em better than the DT-555's. Also looks all original...

Well bridge pup has been switched, but still a killer axe.

Laaz,

Do you have a complete list of Destroyer/DT/X-Series models?

I'd love to compile a guide for these guitars. Something like what I did for the Roadstars.

I have most of the literature for '83 and later (USA). Would you be interested in collaborating on a project like this?

I so wanted this guitar badly. Couldn't type my next bid fast enough.

Steve I have a bunch of info scattered all over my computer. I will have to organize it all.

I have had three of these. The 1984 models were available in CS RD BK the 85 models added a WH. I have had a CS WH & BK.

The DT-450 was available in 1984-85 only from what I have seen. All with V5 pups.
