I am guessing that this is an x310 that has been stripped on the top.

anyone bid on this?

I thought about it but I was looking for more MPC modules for my Outlaw so I've saving for that right now. Looked like a bit of work to put it right.

As long as the neck and frets are ok I think I got a deal. here is what I want to do for the top: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i.ebayimg.com/t/1991-Gibson-Les-Paul-Classic-1960-60-Vintage-Sunburst-Tobacco-Standard-8-9-lbs-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/BGAAAOxy9ERSQfXR/%24%28KGrHqZ,!lQFJ!gYpJZbBSQf%28ReBsQ~~60_35.JPG&imgrefurl=http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?ff3%3D2%26toolid%3D10044%26campid%3D5337247197%26customid%3D%26lgeo%3D1%26vectorid%3D229508%26item%3D181225223221&h=225&w=300&sz=23&tbnid=_MzFA8k212smkM:&tbnh=99&tbnw=132&zoom=1&usg=__O6P71Xk6dtketf_Z_2nrT4v8Uok=&docid=IOj1RFzsMWS5JM&itg=1&sa=X&ei=AjuRUoiZKY3WoASTkIDwDg&ved=0CIgBEPUBMAU

No one going to wish me luck?

Good luck! I hope it plays great. I am still looking for a great deal on an original LP style Electra (MPC or non-MPc) not a project example. I loved playing the ones that I have had my hands on.

Are you going to repaint this one black to match its original finish or are you leaving it alone?

See two posts above!

Coming along nicely. Pickups worked and five way did in just three positions. I don't really like them so I'm going with 3 way, 57 classics and coil tap on neck. Pictures soon.

Good luck. Here is a nice step by step on doing a sunburst. http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/topic ... line-dyes/

Here is a mock up, at lot more work to get the poly clear coat off than I thought.

Anyone interested in this? shot the brown today

Oh junk in a hat, it's my favorite kind of thread! Love seeing guitars get the "new life" treatment.

The more pics and details, the better we like it Shack!
