The Electra Forums

I have a project 2228 with the Gibson-style headstock and a logo like this:



Approximately when was this made?



Another pic of the body:

My guess with this model and logo would be approx 1971-1973 range. You may want to look inside the body just under the F hole for a paper label with the model number. Sometimes there is a date there.

Boy, did I goof. The headstock is actually Gibson-style. I edited down the headstock pic for the logo and forgot what the headstock was like.

New pic of the headstock:




Does that make it a pre-lawsuit?

I do not know if the slimline models can be classified as "Lawsuit" models but it would have most likely been produced somewhere between 1971-1974 range I would think from the logo.Here is the link the old electra page that has photos etc of the slimline models and production dates.http://www.rivercityamps.com/electra/2207.php
I have an early model SG circa 1971-72 that has the early laminated wood body with same style headstock etc.
The 1971 catalog and information on the early apollo slimline models can be found here http://www.rivercityamps.com/electrapag ... 215-025623
Hope this helps. These are still nice players but sometimes require a neck shim to get the action just right. Nice Axe.

When your done with the project post some photos for the index page. The only shot there is hard to see.
