What the? !$?#?%?!?!? is that all about?

Suspiciously enough, zero closeups of anything. Possibly a knock-off of some sort?

Zoom in on the middle pic -

It has a chrome logo of some sort -

"Electra . Electra" on the side of it that's facing the viewer.

8 strings per neck?? Is that normal, or is this lap steel for metalcore players?

Steels can have 6, 8 or 10 strings and are generally played in open turnings; mine is generally in C6 for C&W or G9/Em for anything else.

So does anyone know that this IS an Electra ... and I mean not some knock-off?

PCM perhaps?

I sold a Japanese built pedal steel last year, it was (I think) a "Fuzzy" from 1970's, so I know steels were being built in Japan
