If anyone in that area is looking for an Omega model this one looks nice. 8)

So far as I am aware they all had 5 way switches and tone spectrum with 2 color switches.I have heard of some ordered with only a 3 way switch but never seen one. :huh:

These get mistaken for Endorsers too. Basically, it is a X210, and although much different than what we know, called an Omega. By the late 70's or 1980 all 'copy' bodystyles disappear from the Electra line, even the 2242 bolt neck gets a one and a half cutaway makeover at this time. The X210 is only available in Black, has a three way selector and separate coiltap/phase switches. It does not have a scooped out heal but is a setneck guitar. Odd, but not extremely rare. Mike.

It's on eBay now. Apparently he doesn't mind shipping now. I placed a bid on this one.

I think I have what you're talking about. See:

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6469

Edit: Oh... and I see mortarman - you're the one who commented on that thread. Never mind. :-)
