The Electra Forums

I got my Electra from a hole in the wall pawn shop in Amarillo Texas for $35. There was nothing wrong with it except for 2 nicks and no whammy bar(now in desperate search for). I just figured it was a cheap pos guitar, but cheap for my first guitar(and i liked the way it looked). Well I am proud to say that I stand corrected. I absolutley love this guitar. Many of my friends play Fender Strats, but I just can't part with my Electra. I am now looking to expand my Electra collection. Thats how much they have impressed me. Its amazing to think that a $35 purchase almost 10 years ago has turned into my best one ever.

Now I just have a quick question.... I think the model I have is the metallic olive green. (I know its not blue or white any way), so my question is.... Is the metallic olive green a rare model???

Thank you for the awesome site and the chance to ask questions in the forum.

Thanks again

I got mine for 20 bucks, but mine needed wire repairs. Good score.
I do think that the green has become rarer, lemme check on that.

Nice pics to both of you.
The X165 looks almost graphite in color. It may just be me though.
