The electronics should clean up fine. Looks to have the 'Super Charger' treatment, and they may have wired the tone pot wrong (30 years ago). Finish is kind of rough, sometimes the best players are the ones with wear. I think someone could snag this for under $200, although it may go for more... Go crazy, Mike.

Nice looking axe -

I had a similar issue years ago when I ordered and installed the Supercharger kit in my X340 -

When done the volume pots were all the way off on "10" - and at full tilt on "0" -

I reversed / resoldered the lead wires and it worked fine; so much for my wiring expertise ....

It's up to 2 bills already, with four days to go... looks like it'll be going for fair market value.

$345 after shipping... more than I expected. If someone here nabbed it, tell us how she sounds once you get the wiring straightened out! Mike.
