Opening bid of one dollar, and only $25 to ship, so somebody could get a deal on this. This is one of the early Endorsers, the difference being I) no belly cut on back II) Peace Sign Logo III) big dots on fretboard IV) logo on tuners V) 'Anniversary' plate on back of headstock. I've never played one, so I'm not sure about the neck size on these.

Buyer tips: The Bridge pickup is not stock, expect that the phase push/pull isn't hooked up, or is the coil tap for the bridge pickup. If this is the sellers idea of 'Near Mint' I have some beachfront land I'd like to offer him. It's not in bad shape or anything, but 'near mint' should be reserved for those examples that take your breath away. Good luck, these are great instruments.

:hyper: I was fortunate enough to snag this one. I was taunted by the beauty of the trans black finish. That and a case of EGAS. I will post more info when she arrives. 8)

Got EGAS bad so I guess the 12 step plan according to Egas is to buy 12 more electras. I think this one will be a nice players guitar and a nice example of the anniv. model. Will post more when she arrives. Have a great Electra day :hyper:

Collections....man! They have always been a problem for me, ever since marbles. Been through jeeps, vettes, street rods, bikes, handguns, and now guitars. Where will it all end? Good thing I'm not rich like Leno.

I may try an ant farm.
