The Electra Forums

An old friend and former band mate over the years has acquired many, many guitars of various brands and value and has kept them in storage;

I had heard this but could not verify it;

I hadn't seen him in a while until just recently;

He told me he was looking for me, as he was wondering if I might be interested in his - original owner - natural branded Outlaw X720 MPC with 5 or 6 modules;

I tried not to let the cat out of the bag by jumping up and down with a "Definitely!" but I think he got the message.

He said he would take 6 bucks for it - and by the way - he's also gonna throw in his X290 with it ..........

He is one of those people who always takes his time, so I'm not gonna rush him, but when I talked to him yesterday he said he would eventually get it out of storage and that he would hold it for me.

He remembered that I played an Electra X110 back in the day when we used to jam,

and had heard that I still have some Electras;

He thought I would be interested and he was right;

I will keep you posted.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Good luck with it.

CONGRATS my friend! That sounds too cool. I would guess that the modules and X290 are worth close to six hundred alone, and I'm assuming there is a couple of cases included, quite a score. Enjoy, Mike.

That is one great score indeed. Especially with the MPC module prices of late. I have one of the natural finish outlaw models with the peace sign logo and it really looks cool. Hope you post pics when it arrives. Congrats.

What?! Are you crazy...?

You can say stuff like that out loud before the actual deal goes down. I hope you didn't upset the upset the universe and jinx it.

Good luck. Be patient. Let us know what happens.

Do you really mean $6 or $600?

$600.00 -

I know I'll really believe it when they are in my hands - or that I have actually seen what they look like;

I have known this individual for over 30 years and consider him most trustworthy,

and I do believe that he has them - but again until I have seen them .........

If it doesn't happen that's OK too - I'll just keep dreaming about them.

I have already been blessed beyond anything that I could imagine with receiving my brothers G&L in November 2010.

I saw both of these guitars today and really didn't feel the need to make a purchase;

An Electra Outlaw MPC X710 (branded - with years of wear - for $500) and a black X290 bolt next - better condition of the two;

I think he wants to sell them locally - he wants $600 for the pair - he doesn't care about any Ebay selling;

In their current condition - even with a couple of gig bags - about $350 would be my best offer -

If I really felt the need.

The MPC had a MPC4 Tank Tone and a MPC6 Trigger Filter - if I remember correctly;

Both of the modules worked, although the MPC switches are both bent and loose and IMO need replacement;

The 5 way switch worked fine;

The down position on the X290 pickup toggle had a mind of its own and only worked every once in a while.

I took a pic of each; they need some TLC and would probably great guitars for the right person.

Just not my day to make a guitar purchase so I walked away.

My thinking is that if I pay $500 for one guitar or even $600 in a 2 for 1 deal - they both better be ready to play.

Email me if you want to see them.

I don't know if you need them, but I'd ask about the modules separately. They're always good to have. Shoot, I'd love both of those.
