Seller claims that this is a 2242 but it looks to be a black Endorser. http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-1970S-ELECT ... 4aaca510b6

It has some of the look of an Endorser but it's a bolt on neck. I've been scratching my head over this one a bit. The block inlay on the neck looks like a 2200 series too. It's an oddball for sure. Not a workingman, not an endorser and not an LP clone. I've asked the seller if the pots are push/pull. We'll see....


And.....They are NOT push/pull.

Eventually Electra was only making 'Original' designed guitars. I think by 1979 all of the 'Copy' bodies had disappeared from their line. This is what the seller says, the last incarnation of the 2242 or 2245 Black Rock (Bolt-on LP style) with the one-and-a-half cutaway body style. Even weirder is the X220 Omega which would also be confused with as an Endorser, it's a setneck (not scooped out though) Black Guitar with no 'Tone Spectrum' rotary... they're out there.
