Pretty sure this is the final incarnation of the venerable 2242 (Black with gold hardware, bolt-on) model.

These originally were basically LP copies (bolt-on), but I believe they got the one-and-a-half cutaway update in the 80's to match the rest of the Electra Line as they strived to get away from the 'copy' brand stigma.
