It isn't an Electra and it ain't a MIJ Westone either, but...

http://lansing.craigslist.org/msg/2845957543.html

For what he is asking for it really not bad at all. I've seen this up for several months now so he may be to the point of taking an offer at or below $200 for it. We have two MIK's 'round here and they are exceptionally fast action players.

Whadd'ya think, Mike??

I think it looks like a poor mans Charvel, which I already own three of, so personally I'll pass. I agree that at the price it is probably a very competent axe, and he describes that it is in excellent condition. The baby blue doesn't do much for me, but maybe that was a rare finish..? I have seen this listed for a while also (will search on Westones from time to time) and agree that he would probably take offers at this time. Call me a snob, but my lust for imports begins and ends on the shores of the Land of the Rising Sun! Mike.

Lansing is about 1 1/4- 1 1/2 hours away from me, but that is where I picked up my first Electra about 30 years ago. I like the super strat configuration but would be hard pressed to start some WGAS unless the price was nearly free. As Mike said I am not too into the MIK guitars. I like made in USA except for Electras.
