You're correct, although I got them both mainly for their looks.
I have this Tele for 26 years (will be this February), and it's all stock, except for the bridge. This new one, i cut through so GK3 could sit lower, on the wood, so action could be lower. However, some frets are pretty worn out, other are basicaly untouched, so I can't bring it really low. Also, low E string I can not adjust to intonate, no matter how far I back the saddle, it's aalways hi on 12th, compared to harmonic.
X155 I have for about a year. I think it's realy good. However, I do not play it too often due acoustical loudness (I usualy play late at night, at home, in a flat,...). i've recorded couple of tunes with it (I've posted them in Good music part of a forum, from my Youtube channel). Surprisingly, I loved it distorted on a gig. No amp, Boss SE70 to PA, no feedback ...
