The Electra Forums

Well, I'm glad I won that "Most Electras At The Show" award when the competition was <i>light</i>.

I also dig the framed Electra ad on the left above the fridge.

Here's the question I have: Generally speaking, how many were from Ebay and how many were local? And yes, how long did this take to amass?

Dang...I looked at that picture again.

I emailed a copy of that picture to my wife...she's in the living room on her laptop now. That's gonna help me a lot. I'll know when she gets it....I'll hear the scream.

Gadzooks man! You may need to see a doctor about your e-gas.

Kinda expected this reaction.

And yes, I have a bad case of GAS

The X910 was modded when I got it, all the MPC wiring had been removed and the pickups replaced. I found a X320 that had been destroyed (sat on by someone's large relative) and salvaged the electronics to restore the Explorer.

Maybe a third of the collection was bought on E-bay before the prices started really climbing. The majority came from guitar shows, local shops and scouring ads in Vintage Guitar magazine.

I've been collecting these for over 25 years, my first was at 14.

I really want a better look at the basses... 13 of my own just isn't enough!

It appears that JD was on the ball noticing the X910 hanging on the wall in the middle -

Not to mention the 2236 Flying Wedge on the upper right?

Please post more pics of that one - or any of them individually or give a URL or something - please!!!!!

Thanks,

Now we know the source of the Egas epidemic that we all have lol. That is a very nice selection of many of the models and great to see them all in one place.

Wow, a whole music store or two's worth! Way more than the typical mom and pop shop carried in stock back in the day that a lot of these probably came from originally. Very nice indeed. As others have already spoken, I immediately showed my wife. "See! And you complain about my guitars?" Sadly, it didn't seem to help much.

Makes me remember all the ones I had and sold too since I had to decrease my collection. I miss my Maple Pro for sure.

Again, great collection!

Apparently there's some interest in the X910, so here's some additional pics

And to further show evidence of E-gas...
