8) Yep this one is a fine restoration and looks to be the one that one of our very own forum members restored. If this is the one its restoration was shared and watched step by step here on the forums The extra module and case are nice also.

Yep, that's the same guitar McB restored:

I'm not sure that those modules (MPC1 through MPC5) are worth $450 as the seller claims, I have all those modules and I didn't pay that much for them. The real question is, how come he only held on to it for three months? It's been said before, the Outlaw is an acquired taste and not for everyone. I probably wouldn't have sought one out if mine hadn't fell into my lap, but I will say that they play great (check out my Jimmy Page audio clip: http://www.box.net/shared/y01dr91hg8) and have a neck through mahogany design that would be (still is) expensive to make. I've heard some people say that they are off balance (neck heavy) but I haven't noticed that too much. $900 buy-it-now is a little steep in my humble estimation.

I sold it with just 2 modules, and a non-original case. Dan (the seller) has had several go through his hands, similar to how I go through them.... :)

Great guitar and a quality restoration for certain but too rich for my tastes. I like the Outlaw models and like all Electras they are built like tanks but sound awesome. Will be interesting to see what it goes for.

I'm a huge fan of the Outlaw shape and style. I want to own one some day. :)
