The Electra Forums

hi everyone, i guess an introduction is needed. i have owned several electras in the past, and somehow 10 years ago i lost my mind and parted with a perfect x155, AND an x240. for some reason choosing gibsons. so i ended up with guitars just like everyone else had. I could cry. however, i could never part with my sunburst x810 and about 4 years ago got another x155, (not as nice as my first) i have to say it's nice to know that there are people out there who instead of frown on a lesser known brand, foam at the mouth like i do.

welcome to the club

i got the bug a number of years ago... and have since acquired a number of very nice electras... (including an x240 and a couple of x810s)...

don't know if you are interested in trying to acquire another x240, but if you are there is a nice one on e-boink right now

i'll post my babies soon. i saw the x240 and it made my heart sink. i'll keep my eye on it. what i am interested in is the x950. i would part with the cash, but i can't get the guy selling it to show me anymore pics. i have seen it come up on ebay a couple of times before from the same guy. i tried telling him that for 500+ bucks a couple of pics isn't asking too much.

I have an x950 and can tell you that it's a fine guitar. It's the only MPC I've kept, except for an x120 I have as a project. I play it all the time. It's beautiful and a really solid player. The one on eBray looks nice, and the 4 MPC modules are nothing to sneeze at. That said, it's probably at the end of its bid-life. If you're still in the bidding, good luck!
