Thanks to Dean Tucker for these pictures of his X300PP -
Although the X300 Pantera originally had only a volume control, the
majority that I have seen have a volume and tone control. It is
possible that these are user modifications (On mine, the tone pot is
definitely not original), but the design may have been modified at some
point - the backplate and cavity have always been large enough to
accomodate the extra pot, and some guitars like the one below have
original switchmaster knobs on both pots. Thanks to Pauline for these photos -
Buying tips - damage to the point
of the headstock is common. Check the trem is complete, parts may be
very hard to obtain. The pickups may not be the ones listed in the
catalogues - see the UBC pickups page for details
