Any opinions on this guitar?
Can someone tell me why the Module plate on the back is not hinged?
This guitar look pristine.

My X330 is one of the Electra's I plan to keep forever. The hinge was not on all the MPC guitars. Some of the pre-wave headstock models had screw on MPC cavity covers like this one. If you dont like it, you could pretty easily add a hinge to it.
I'm not a big fan of the tone spectrum switch but on the X300 series I'm more than willing to live with it. IMHO these are the best guitars Electra nade with the LP body style - sorry Omega fans - the MPC capability puts the X300's over the top for me.

What year is this guitar?
Sorry I don't know much about the serial #'s.

With the gibson style "open book" aka lawsuit headstock this has to be from 1976 or 77, so it's one of the early X330's -- I also see the seller took my advice to split up the guitar and modules because no one wanted to go for his high price for everything !! Good luck, y'all !!
