Looks like it would be an interesting read. Can't make out the model of the electra in left of photo. Any ideas?

What is International Musician? The cover looks like an Electra or SLM Advertisement! Firstly, I think Leslie is holding a X120, which would be the first and only time I've ever seen that, pretty darn cool.

Can anyone ID the guitar that Steve Marriot is holding? I don't recognize it, can you say Prototype? It looks like a X200 Walnut series guitar with a maple neck-through thing going on, very intriguing!! I want one now.

That's the first and last time you'll ever see Three Electras on the cover of a magazine, drink it in, Mike.

After looking closer, it looks like the truss rod cover may have 'MPC' on it, which means that could be a rare Maple Ultima prototype. RCS, do you know what the month/year of that magazine was? Thanks for posting it, very very cool!

May be Pro. I was thinking along the same lines as the X960 Ultima MPC but with the same neck thru as your LP proto type. It's cool and I like it fot what thats worth. ould be nice to see the articles in this one. Good eye RCS. :up:
