The Electra Forums

I picked up this beauty from a little guitar store earlier this month, and I'm quite impressed with it. This guitar feels better and more solid than either of my other electrics. Sadly, even though I've moved the saddles as far back as possible, the intonation is still off. Although I've never named any of my guitars before, I've decided this one's name is Vera (possibly because it's at least four years older than me and not near as common as the other guitars I own )

I took the closeup of the supercharger sticker on the tone knob before reading the thread about superchargers, but since it came out so clear I decided to upload it anyway :p It appears that there was also a sticker on the volume knob at one point in time.

















Sorry, got kinda carried away there. I still have the larger pictures if you'd like them for the model listings, X189player

Lucky.
How much did you pay? Because that is one hell of a guitar.
With four MPC's too.
Heck, my Electra is 13 years older than me.
1981 Phoenix X-140S.
Paid 20 bucks.

But, you totally got a good peice o' wood. As for your intonation problems, it's probably the bridge's age. A newer one may help.

That's a nice guitar, especially with the modules. You may need to try a different brand of string or a different gauge to get the intonation right--if you have the original bridge, you can reverse the saddles and reinsert the screws from the other side if you need more travel, but usually it's not necessary.
