I see that there are already six bids on this one, most likely some people from here, so I wanted to warn you that the body has been shaved and probably refinished. If you look at the front you can see how close the controls are to the edge of the guitar, and on the back the control cover should be a trapezoid and now its got a rounded edge. Basically it looks like someone took a jigsaw to the body.

I'm sure it plays ok, but make no mistake, this one has been butchered, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware). Cheers, Mike.

Nice eye Mike. i also agree that this one has been shaved down as the batwings are way to close to the edge of the body and also the MPC covers as noted.Lots of chunks ot of the body also so I would pass on this one unless it stays extreamly low. Could be a bargain player or a good backup for parts etc. :look: :up:

on the flip side, if you are looking for a "beater" MPC to play, since it's been shaved all along the upper and lower bouts, it's weigh less that a normal outlaw, and will probably fit into a "standard" case now :)
