11 bids already, so I'm sure some of you guys have seen this already. This is probably the earliest Electra SG example, with the OLD script logo, the same logo they used on the Armstrong lucite copies. I actually really like that logo, simple and elegant.

This has a few differences from the SG's I profiled in the thread about 'the many differences in 2259s', it does not have the 'shelf' heal where the neck meets the body, has a different control cavity cover, etc. It also has the earlier split fake Bigsby. I'll pass because I'm not a fan of the Bigsby, real or otherwise, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

Well these are fun players for certain and this is a nice example. For comparison here is the one I have which is most likely a little earlier version than this one and most likely a PCM from the metal tag logo. Nice player but mine is a stop tail version. Enjoy

These particular models seem to have the most manufacturer changes and slight differences than any other models in the early years from the pickguards to the neck shapes etc.
