Hi guys!

Last night I traded my S520EX (2002) for a 20 year older Destroyer II (and money), it's seriously played and battered but it sounds very good. The looks from 6 feet and further are stunning!

This is the first vintage guitar I have, but I might go after some more older Ibbies (after all, they're not that expensive and excellent wall-fillers

).

pics are here:

Oooh...VERY cool! I'd say you definitely came out ahead on that trade

I bought also a destroyer some time ago. It is heavily modded.
Here´s some pictures of it:

I believe it was originally a DT350 but I´m not sure. Can someone tell me which model it is? Serial # suggests that it is from 1984.

Yes,

Definately a DT. More than likely a 350. I think that the only difference between th emodels was the binding to the body, so it is difficult to tell exactly the model number.

Looks really cool though.

I have a DT 350 from '83. It totally rocks, in some ways it is superrior in tone to an RG. The neck is nice too.
