This is a nice clean early model(trapeze tailpiece) model Elvin with OHSC and is in nice shape also. Do not know what the reserve is but it is a nice guitar. 8) :love: :up:

What do you guys think about the finish cracking around the neck joint?

I would think most likely due to wood expansion over the years but it does not look like it has any effect on the actual joint other than cosmectics maybe. Would need a closeup up that area to be certain. Looks like it is a solid joint. Nice eye I missed that on my first look before I posted it. :look: :look:

That's not the right bridge for that guitar. I don't think I've ever seen an Electra with a 'Harmonica' style wide bridge like that. Just sayin'.

You are correct. Mine has the standard electra bridge with the trapeze tailpiece. Still not a bad looking elvin and bridge is an easy fix if the price stays low enough. :up:

Woo! $971.00 net sale! I couldn't hold on that long... I dropped out at the $801 mark.
