The X260N(Blonde natural canadian ash) is a real gem and beauty. I have on and love it. Awesome action and neck and the pups are clean and bright but will get somewhat nasty. Has a Volume/tone/tone and a coil tap switch. Gives great LP sounds as well as good clean strat sound when coil tapped. It has a great resonance and sounds well even unplugged. It is lighter than LP and balances well. It is a definate sleeper and a keeper. You will not regret it you will love it. Good Hunting

It's your basic Blonde Invicta, which seems to have a special place in the hearts of many players. Basically the same guitar as the Invicta (X260) without the walnut stained wood and with a maple fretboard (ok, different color knobs too).

These aren't rare, but as with many Electras, finding a 25-30 year old guitar that hasn't been monkeyed with is getting difficult. Has grovers on it, which more than likely were not necessary. The brass nuts are soft and can pinch the strings, I use 'nut sauce' that helps the strings slip and not get kinked in the nut.

Couple more observations, someone put on Strap Lock hangers (no biggie), also looks like they changed the nut when they put the Grovers on and despite it's 1982 manufacture no sign of the Anniversary plate on the back of the headstock... curious.
