Check this thing out. Wow. I would bid if I hadn't just bought my Quest Atak 2!

This thing is gorgeous, never seen something like this before. :-? :love:
Makes me want to buy a cowboy hat and an El Camino.

Please, someone on here buy this thing, it needs a good home. Then record yourself playing it on Youtube so the rest of us can enjoy it by proxy. :D

It's a bolt-on... so who knows if that is the original body. I'm always skeptical when I see a bolt-on, especially when connected to a unfamiliar body shape. Many of these bolt-on hollow bodies have warping issues causing the action to be high. This is one you'd want to play before buying/bidding if you ask me.

Ah, good to know. So it may not even be an Electra...

Neck looks to be from early model Electra slimline or apollo but I would give an educated guess that the body is tiesco from the pickup setup. Who knows with this one. It was never in any of the pics, adds or catalogs that I have ever seen but there have been a few proto types showing up recently. If it is an electra hollowbody should have some type of ID inside body under F holes.
