Found this listing for a Leslie West model that is actually a X960 MPC model for what it's worth I have sent the seller a msg with the correct ID. :look:

That IS a wild wood pattern. I think I see 5 pieces there on the top.

Wow! Both on the guitar and the price. No ending date on the listing that I could see either.

A couple of observations, firstly, multiple people have told the seller that it is not a Leslie West, yet he has not taken the time to change the auction title or text. Next, I'm not sure either pickup is original, we know the bridge isn't with the zebra coils, and the neck pickup polepieces are going the wrong direction. Also, seller states that the neck pickup has been disconnected, and then makes a joke about it... hmmm.

We've seen totally straight Ultimas sell in the $300-$400 range, so the seller is just dreaming at this price. As a project with a hard case, I'd say $250-$275 would be more realistic, although I wouldn't hold my breath with this particular dreamer, oh, I mean seller.

I have sent repeated e-mails and bay mails to inform seller of the ID and status of the guitar but have no response so I guess they are still floating around in space with the price. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
