hello

I have 2 other Electra's an x-610 outlaw bass and an MPC outlaw guitar. Both are ripping! I just bought a modified x-220 LP copy. I have to say these guitars are all so great. This LP has different pickups and had the switches exchanged for tone knobs and the 5 way switch exchanged for a Gibson 3 way. So now it's similar to a Gibson LP. This guitar sounds really clear and plays great. They are so easy to play and just feel "right" to me.I just wanted to share with some people who care.

I really like it the way it is. I don't think I'll change to the stock set up. I have to get some pictures up soon. It seems I now have a small collection.

I had one just like that at one time - same thing - someone converted it to a Les Paul wiring configuration. It had an old dimarzion Super distortion in the bridge and an old dimarzio PAF in the neck - probably put in in the 70s or 80s. That guitar was fantastic. I wish I still had it along with the other 100s of guitars I used to own.

:D
