I love these guitars! I think this is the 5th one I've owned. I love them because as the saying goes, 'imitation if the sincerest form of flattery'...and the Japanese loved American guitars, so they tried to compete and did with the Electra series. This one is from the mid-70's. Don't know the exact date it was made but it has the LP headstock, one of the features that was so close to Gibson's that it had to be changed, in this case to the wave headstock. These guitars are so quality. They have the deep headstock angle pitching the strings back like old-school Gibsons. I tuned it today with a clip-on tuner and was amazed at how fast it was reading compared to a Rickenbacker 380 I tuned before it. I realized it tuned so quickly because the body is so solid that the sustain/vibration of each string went right into the tuner. This one has some honest dings and wear but is very nice overall. Non-original case is included. No modules with this one but if you love these guitars too, you probably have your own. The body is mahogany and its finished w/ gold hardware. It has 2 Magnaflux original pickups. I was looking for some history on Electras and saw that they are making them again! I hope the quality in these is as amazing as the first production models. I think these guitars will only appreciate over time. Happy bidding!I do my best to describe and photograph a true representation of my stuff but if you have questions or want more pics, just let me know! I will oblige. But do so before bidding, as I don't take returns. Best of luck and of course, Rock on!
