Well this one went quick when it hit the bay for $125. Hope a forum member snagged it.

these mid-80's PCMs are nothing like the early PCM's :)
seems most of the guitar making had evolved pretty well by then.....

Do you guys know if the fishmouth headstock was strictly on Electras? My buddy has a flying V copy with that headstock but it was stripped of all paint and we were wondering its origin. Its a pretty nice solid body axe.

I think that some of the Aria models may have also had the fishmouth but not certain. Any pics would help us to ID it.

no, the fishmouth headstock started appearing in the mid 80's with various brands applied to it....

Vista, Grand Prix, Tanara are some of the other brands that show up wit this headstock...

Cool, thanks for the info guys. I guess it could be any one of those, its pretty stripped down. I'm hoping to coax him in to letting me buy it off him, it would be a cool project. Its a bolt on but the body has the fake neck thru look with the wings. I've always wanted a V . :)
