Man this makes the other Burgandy Pro look pale by comparison people. Note the Logo with a Circle around the peacesign (McB Definitely lift that photo for your webpage man!!). This is a real oddity with the Wave headstock, but a trapeze tailpiece. I don't think I've ever seen a Burgandy Pro with as flamey a top before either. Just a really beautiful Instrument.

I'm wondering if this was a special mock-up piece or something for NAMM? I could handle the opening bid, but something tells me this one will go for LOTS, possibly a grand, which I can't swing. Congrats in advance to whomever takes this beauty home... (where's that drool emoticon?)

This one has a gorgeous top indeed. I agree that maybe it was a NAAM model or maybe a factory sample that lost out to the one we love so much. This one will be interesting to watch.

Truly an unusual looking - and beautiful - guitar.

Has anyone ever seen an Electra logo like this?

I wonder if Tom Presley can enlighten us?

Yowza!!! I wet myself a little looking at that. I may have to mortgage something.

Mortgage Park Place... nobody ever lands on that anyways!


Surprised nobody's even bid yet... maybe waiting for the other Burgundy to end.

that what I figured was happening... plus with a deent starting bid on it, people wouldn't want to push the amount up early

I finlly got a chance to grab the headstock pic and look at the pictures better (than on my phone) and the wood is definitely interesting... almost more of a birdseye or spalted maple look... and the catalogue states this should have a mahogany top...

I can't believe this went for that little-once the bidding started,I would have thought this one would have eclipsed the thousand mark......
If I had known or been around for the end,I would have definitely jumped in-always a day late and a dollar short

Well I hope some member scored this one. i was occupied at auction end and missed it by $10 bummer but thats Ok I scoed a near mint Super magnum LP and a nice Jacarranda LP plus other Westones so I am Happy and in full Egas epidemic. That was a unique one indeed.

These are different Burgundy pros... If you look at the back of the headstock, one has a sticker, the other doesn't. Never seen this logo before, and two of them show up a month apart on eBay, go figure. I think the first one was in better shape, with a nice case it ended at just shy of $800, this one should be less without a case and not in as sparkling shape... just my two cents.

P.S. I think the logo ends up looking like a Jack-o-lantern with that ring around it!

I thought the exact same thing. I was hoping no one else would see this one. I am high bidder right now and am prepared to go even higher. If anyone needs to know just how high then they should PM me. i do not want to get into a bidding war with other members - it really doesn't benefit any of us (unless you're looking to cash one in).
