Hi,
I'm new to Electra. This guitar was under the bed of my 80 year old father in law. I've played since childhood, and he showed this to me for the first time over Thanksgiving, and said take it. The serial number is H765539. I am assuming 1976. It is a tobacco sunburst, hollow body, with a Bigsby and a rosewood fret board with the Tree of Life. Humbucker pickups. Beautiful guitar, mint condition, and plays really well.
Can anyone shed some light on what I have?
