The Electra Forums

See if anybody here is interested before it goes to auction- X280 with Greco vintage EG series pickups. I got the X280 as a carcass,no pickups,someone had applied shellac with a brush,all the pots were frozen with dried shellac,a mess .

I stripped all the shellac off,resealed with tru-oil,replaced the pots with Alpha minipots and orange drop caps,Greco pickups-7.42K neck,8.16 bridge. Great pickups,plays great-would benefit from a setup but ain't bad as is
$180 shipped in 48 states Joe
PM me if interested,thanks

At least 5 different pieces that I can tell,some very straight grained,some flamey,none appear to be from same piece of lumber-almost painted,but the easiest way is hard enough they always told me Joe

Looks good now! Is that body made of Walnut?

X280s had ash bodies,walnut stained-I didnt go as dark,let some of the grain out. Joe

Very nice work and congrats on bringing it back from the dead. The ash bodies have a very nice resonance to them and a nice warm tone. Looks great.
