This is an Electra X-330 that I am reluctantly selling:

Hope you find a buyer but be aware that this X330 is not all original. It looks as if someone has converted the controls and switches to a Les Paul style. Looks like they also added the 2 micro switches. There should be 4 control knobs in a row across the top and 2 large batwing style switches below the 4 to control each of the MPC modules. Are the MPC electronics in the back bay still intact? Unfortunatly many of our beloved MPC and Omega models were hacked up and reconfigured to LP style controls as many also removed the 5 way selector switch and replaced it with a standard 3 way.. This can be converted back to original configuration but takes many parts and alot of time and skill to do so. In mu humble opinion this also has a drastic effect on the price range one can expect to get on the guitar also however many LP style players like these guitars with the LP setup so good Luck and hope you still have other Electras to enjoy. :up:

Mortarman is right, your asking price won't be met on here for sure. If it was original, then maybe. These guitars were amazing in original condition. I hope you get the chance to play one!

Anyway, I do hope it sells for you. Don't think we're downing you or anything, just being straight-shooters. Which is what anyone really wants!

Thanks guys, I actually never have opened it up to check and see but wondered why the knobs were setup like a LP.

You are correct, I opened it up and it has been converted. I have updated the listing to reflect the mod.

I re-listed this guitar with NR starting at $1. The action closes tomorrow night if anyone might be interested.
