Looks nice but I don't think it will ever bring the asking price. Must have been rough on it otherwise why refinish an already good guitar. Guess he wanted a black 335 but for that price could have bought an elvin, 410, or 420or combination of all. I wish him luck with this one.

Look at the fret inlays... I think this is (was) a 2266 Burgandy Pro, which you don't see too often. Not sure why he painted it either... should have waited for a Custom Pro, which has the coilcut/phase switching built in! Somebody should ask him if it was red at one time, just curious.

Also interesting that in NONE of the pictures can you see the headstock shape? Bad photography, or maybe he's afraid Gibson will pull the plug on the auction!

I agree my first thought was also that before it was transformed into a $1000 super electra that it was indeed the Burgandy Pro as that is a modelI would like to have also. Will be interesting to see if someone is willing to plop down a grand on this one.
