It's at $535 already now... I'm thinking closer to $1200 before shipping. (part of me hopes that I'm wrong)

I would like to bid on this one if there are no takers yet! Actually I already did before I saw it here on the auction watch. I,m willing to sell my CS Endorser to fund part of this 410, any parties interested give me a pm. The price will be 400, I already have a creme 45 for the neck and possible a 53 for the bridge. But to anyone bidding on the 410, I hope some here takes her home, passed one of these up a few years back and that one was mint from San fran.



53 should be on it's way by Friday, Tim.

@Jead: Don't ... I repeat DO NOT let your grip loosen on that trapeze there guy.

You will regret it...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! :x

Nope - I pushed it as far as I wanted to go - and you know I have another fish to land. I won't say the name but it sounds sort of like Wesley. Lucky for me I already have a 410. Looks like the bookmatching was messed up on the 410. The front bottom and top back are one piece and front top back bottom another. Some poor guy probably got yelled at over that. These are tremendous guitars and I think in these selling conditions anything under a grand will be a pretty nice catch. I only see 6 selling on ebay in the last 2 years - a pretty low number so either not many were made or people just don't let them go - or both. Speaking for myself, I'd put the 410's in the top 10 of Electra models easily maybe top 5. It's 1 or 2 on my list of models I've had.

So.... somebody else should step up. I seriously doubt anyone would have any regrets owning it.

Agreed on the bookmatching but the overall lighter color is quite arresting.

Shame it went over 7 bills, I only go for them at that price when the seller throws in a MusicMan amp for free as part of the package... :D














... heh, heh, heh ...

$928 with a little over an hour to go - Looks like Mike is going to be VERY close on his estimate of close to $1200.

$1011 with shipping... that's almost a steal compared to the frankensemi earlier this week. I'd say someone got a good deal considering this one was in really nice shape. Anyone here snag it?

I cringe every time I see an Electra push $1000 but I suppose it should come as no surprise. This looked like a very nice one and actually I'm surprised it did not get pushed higher. Let's face it the semi's kick butt and people are beginning to realize it.
