It looks like someone (poorly) mated an Electra neck to a cheap LP body. check out the gap in the neck pocket and the "Ply" body! And its overpriced! BEWARE!!!!

But thankfully, you also have a REAL Super Rock that you can compare this one to - and this one is quite reasonably priced - for now and appears to be in great shape!

I am tempted with this one! :D

The good one has been tempting me as well. Trying to resist, saving for a short vacation.

Ply body looks just like the old Bently sunburst I bought new in 1980. The other one looks like eary model and looks to be original.

Yeah...that 1st one is an obvious mix and match....but the match part fell short. The second one looks like an early Fuji Gen Gakki guitar....prior to Uncle Mat. Very NICE.

I wish I had the money for the cherry burst. That is my all-time favorite finish.

Wow, $440 total for the nice one. I feel better better about my sub $200 purchase every time I see one of these go, although I do like the finish on this one better and envy the winner for that reason. I'm eyeballing the x180 that ends today. This one looks to be more in my price range as it is a little dinged up.

And the holes for the output jack don't match either.
