Again with the poorly lit and angled pictures.

I certainly have no info to offer regarding it's Greek origin, but that guitar has a pretty cool 70's vibe going for it. I think it's the pickguard that gives me that impression.

Hate when they give 1 overall body/face pic and you can only really tell that it hasn't been set on fire or struck with an axe. I'm not sure why anyone really feels that headstock closeups are vital but not shots of fretboard or pickup area...

Seems many pawnshops and such "accidentally" omit all shots of the bottom-back edge (near strap peg) where the worst chips often occur also.

Bad picture but that's the kind of Antique Burst top I was talking about in the other thread Jay.

I just bought a Daystrom/Mullard NOS rectifier tube from Cyprus who knows how things land where they do. I bet some of these items would have interesting stories if they could talk. MPC from Japan > St. Louis > Greece is one well-travelled guitar.

I reckon!! These things are rarely seen outside the CONUS, so you gotta think there was an American serviceman in Europe with his Electra at some stage, eh...
