This one looks strange to me... that X on the headstock, the build... I haven't seen one like this before. Anyone have any ideas?

You link did not work but the "X" you mention is indicative of PCM Electras. They are not well documented.

I'll have to try and get the pic on here.... What is PCM stand for?

Pacific Coast Music. back in the early 70's it was owned by the brother of the guy who owned St. Louis Music.

the late 60s early 70s PCM ones, usually had a rectangular Aluminum plate with a Black words log on the headstock. some also had a X on the headstock or a pickguard...
