What year is this thing? Has the old 'goofy' logo, but looks like its from the 90's with no neck plate. It doesn't seem to have any mounting posts for the tailpiece!! Buyer Beware.

It's a floyd shoved into the body with a paper towel wedging it in!!!! With FIVE springs to make sure she don't pop out!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's flippin' hilarious. :lol:

Gotta be an Ibanez body with some sort of Electra neck on it that happened to color match.....or maybe a whole new slick paint job..... the heel of the neck and body don't match at all.......lotsa new chrome and plastic with the plastic still on... :wink: .........

Has the Electra name really become this popular that we are now making franken-tras?

That tremolo business is the funniest thing I've seen in a while....

I'm gonna buy it. 8)

Sheesh - It looks like the tailpiece is screwed in at the G and low E :down: :hyper: .
The bridge is worth $99 though.

It IS screwed in through the holes for the saddles at E and G isn't it?!!? :hyper:

Good God - this thing just keeps getting better! :rofl:

Shoot, I've had to pay for hotel rooms that were more than that and far less fun. :oops:

Wonder how far I can drive this thing up?,,.,.. :P

:rofl: :rofl: Now I have seen it all a knock off of a knock off of a knock off with scraps for parts. It is a rare one for certain as you will most likely never see all those different makes of parts in one place again lol :barf: :barf: :barf: :down:

It's got a nice case though :lol:
Wonder what the story with that is? Still has the protective plastic on some places?

Right! the guitar itself has to be junk. The bridge and case look good. Not sure about the neck? Apollo series maybe????

I believe the neck and body are original. Original late 80's Electra. (potentially PCM, but no one really knows). similar to the "fishmouth" headstocks and some others. this makes 4 different headstock style from that era I think.... I need to grab a pic of this one for my page.... (scroll down to the bottom)
