SD pups, it says wired like a LP FWIW. Claims original case but not in pics. Scratched up but very solid looking. I'd like to know if it still is wired for MPC functionality and such...

This is the finish that always jumps out at me when I'm looking at the old catalogs/ads for Electra LP's. IMO the antique sunburst is just phenomenal. I don't believe you see these every day, and the price seems very realistic for that model.

I would jump on it but Jead has been kind enough to sell me his recently restored 2281, and it will be my crown jewel( no other new ones for awhile).

Hope the guitar is as nice as the burst finish itself is, and that someone here adds it to their wall of fame. Does seem to have a lot of wear, but I can't tell how much from those pics. Looks like it's not too beat up, but the pics are just vague enough to make me wonder. Looks like a decent amount of rash on the back, and the only decent closeup of the front looks either scratched up or in need of a wash,lol. :D

In the very least it should be a great player x350 but you probably have to like SD JB and Jazz pups...which probably sound amazing for hard rock all the way to jazz on that axe.

Just a thought.

EDIT: I glanced at the listing title again and it does appear to include stock pups also!
Definitely makes it a little more enticing. I'm mainly wondering if the MPC works now...
Hope it makes a good deal for someone either way. 8)

EDIT2:3-9-12 The seller has lowered the price $50 or so due to him losing the pups and pickguard. He says he'll send them in the mail later if he ever finds them. Certainly a reasonable price either way.
