Just a plain weird auction to me. Will ship it (no case clasps) tuned with strings but no pups?

What is the point of that? What were the original pups in these anyway?

Well Ice I also viewed this listing and Cried :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: as someone out there has completly ruined a great instrument. These are seen but not as often as other models and with the addition of the 3 way and 6 way selector switches they have a phenominal amount of tonal variations and are really great players. This one has been modded to be more like an LP :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: what a waste. maybe someone could restore her to original configuration as it looks like the 6 way rotary switch may still be in place. The finish on these models is also really nice as it is a see thru pearl white.

Update*** Upon close inspection I see that the six way rotary is indeed gone and replaced with a coil tap so good luck finding one of the 6 way rotary switches. What a shame
