Out at a car race with no laptop, but from what I can see on my 5" screen looks like a keeper, Any of you guys the seller?

Off to the races, back on Monday. All have a good weekend!!

That's not a Maple Pro, it's a X810n Semi Hollow MPC. Description leaves a lot to be desired with only one line of text. Seller does succeed in squeezing in that it has three modules. Nothing about a case, or history, or sound... typical vague eBay dunce.

These may be more rare than the Maple Pro, don't take my word for it. There are enough differences in the construction of the Maple Pro (or Elvins) and the X810's that they may of come from different factories for all I know. Heals are completely different, and it seems my 810 has more arch than my MP. In any event, it looks like a fine addition. Kinda tapped out, I'll pass.

Wow! We're back from our auto races, great weekend!

Didn't have a full screen to see the guitar, thanks for the info and heads up. I wish I had a better read on the condition, think I'll ask the guy for more pictures. If it looks clean I'll probably stay aggressive.

Thanks again guys!!

Ps. Ah crum, just noticed that the seller has zero feedback. Have sent him several questions and asked for more pics, will update when I hear from him. If he doesn't sound up and up I'll pull out due to the discrepancy on the model, description. Will update if I do pull out.

Charlie btw the 3 modules work fine ,not a ring modulator,but an "octave box",frog nose idst,and mpc5 overdrive[/img]

I'm think I'm going to stay aggressive on this one unless you guys see some major issues, a head's up is always appreciated!

I can tell you're still smarting over that one man... Sorry, you can visit your Tobacco Sunburst X810 any time you like. Played it this weekend while checking out some modules and that neck is so thin and comfy for me. Pickups are kind of dark, but then again I've been playing that X150 for a couple weeks straight... Mike.

Just FYI, I'm out on this one, too many discrepancies and a zero feedback seller is too risky for the price this thing should go at.

If someone wants it I hope they get it, good luck all!

What happened... all the bids were retracted? Looked like a nice example to me... and rare, as JMM noted, this would be the first one I've seen on eBay in two years of paying attention.

Huh, the auction was ended early, not sure what the ultimate deal was. Hopefully the seller will update his info, re-list and add all the pics we've got up here and maybe add a buy it now. It may have been ended by Ebay as he had one model in the listing and updated the description with the correct model. Hey, maybe he sold it out of Ebay, its a possibility
