:love: :love: :love: Gotta love this one. It looks very clean and awesome. It should be interesting to see what this one brings. Better be nice to your banker if you want this one I think $$$$$$$$$ These don't seem to show up much and not in this good a shape. Wish I could get her and the SG tree of life as a set. I will put them on my wish list along with the X910 and Howard Roberts model. Enjoy :love: :love: :love:

I'm assuming he means this auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ELECTRA-SUPER-MAGNU ... 286.c0.m14

I've never been a big fan of the carved guitars, but you guys go crazy!

Never saw one with a set neck before. The music store I hung out at had Electras with bolt-on necks only. I remember admiring a "Super Magnum" myself although the "Super Rock Jacaranda" is my all time favorite.

Think I know why though, they sold Gibson Les Pauls (the real thing) at stupid low prices back in the 70s - $450 (plus tax) would get you a brand new Les Paul Custom with deluxe Gibson hard-shell case out the door! Of course this was for a POS "Norlin" era LP.

I am guessing this Electra would go for the same price and therefore would not be sellable against a real LP!

Later in the late 70s and early 80s, Gibson started jacking the prices up sky-high which started to make these "Clones" much more attractive! That was about the time I decided to become a Fender man!
