Sure thing - good luck. I have a very small bump (420ish) left in me for this and I'll use it up now. OK - I'm done.



$737 + $40 shipping. Not a bad day for the seller of a guitar that will definitely need work soon. Hopefully it will get the work and be good for many years to come.

$777...? Man, somebody must of needed a project badly. I have a X810 MPC and it's a good player, but the passive Semi's have typically out sold these in the past. Let's put it this way, that's more than I paid for mine (about three years ago) in gigging shape.

P.S. I suppose the modules could have had something to do with the final price, although there were duplicates.

2 phasers, 2 POD's and a TBE would probably add at least $200 these days - Still the final price is much more than I would have gone. Prices are VERY screwy again. I'm seeing lots of bolt on LP styles going for a lot more than historical prices and yet just about all the Phoenix models are languishing.

Yes, this one passed my max. I couldn't believe it.

Wow, another surprising price this week. I agree that the modules may have been a few hundred of the price paid when it's all said and done. Also agreed that it worked out well for the seller. I've seen a few "real" 335's needing some work for $1000-1200 before...makes me wonder where the ceiling will end up being found.

I'd be somewhat amused if Electra semis one day dwarf the value of modern 335's. Probably not a logical prediction but I can't help but feeling it's possible the last few days. Ok just exaggerating but still....lately it seems I can get a vintage Tokai semi (not that I've seen many) cheaper.

Problem is that if I had one or two Electra semis, the increase in value would just make me more likely to keep it/them forever. Kinda a catch 22.
