:barf: Here is a fine example I think of what not to do to your Electra. No headstock Logo but a OK refinish. Looks like pickups are maybe original as the workingman had black pickups. The Natural Ash(Blonde) finish should have been left alone as it looks like no major damage was sustained to the guitar. The true blonde has the white pups and covers. The price is right and it looks like a clean player or gig guitar. To each his own you decide.

This guitar has a rosewood fingerboard, so it was a X260 all along. Who knows why it was refinished, and too bad about the logo, but there's no mistaking what it is.

:up: I stand corrected as I did miss the neck type. The X260N indeed has a maple neck and this one does not. I was multi tasking while I was looking and missed it. Thanks for keeping me on my toes and correcting the mistake. Have a great day. Thanks

Re-reading my above comment, I hope I didn't come off sounding terse or smug, that was not my intention. The refinned X260 has some bids now, so some people aren't frightened off by the finish, good luck all.

:up: No worries, no problems, I want to make certain that the info is correct in anything I post. Thanks for the corrections and please continue to fix any errors that I may make. I am indeed sorry that I did not catch it first but I was distracted and working several tasks at once. I want all my posts to be accurate so anytime anyone notes an error please bring it to my attention so it will be corrected. Thanks again.
