Not sure what the reserve is (probably too high for me)... but it's nice

Please excuse me while I take a moment to drool and covet for a minute. Thinking of selling a new Gibson Custom Shop ES339 and buying one of these. (Heavy Sigh!)

Personally,I think that's a decision you would never regret(not to mention bucks left over)

I do believe that I will try to buy this very cool peice of art. Gonna wait though and see where the price is going, after all there are 8 days left to see what happens. Wish me luck guys!

Good luck - PM me if you fail.

Will do Jead. I'm not by any means a purchaser on ebay and I don't like to buy a guitar unless I play it first but you guys have spoken so highly of these that I'm willing to take a chance on this one. Besides that, it seems to be in very good condition and if it plays the same or better than my Sheraton deluxe then I will be in hog heaven. I just hope that someone doesn't go crazy on the price just to enhance bidding. Time to say my prayers and count my nickels.

Unfortunately $700 is sort of a joke as a starting point on Semi's now - and not a ha-ha LOL that's ridiculous kind of joke either. More like the "Boy if I can get that for $700 I'd have the deal of the year!" joke.

The cat is out of the bag and Elvis has left the building with the Electra semi's.

Yeah, I can see the trend and realized that seven bills was just the starting point. Too bad I didn't tune in to how cool Electras are untill now. But I am ready to see how far this will go.

These Elvins and the other Electra Hollowbody models are the original Gibson killers and will run circles around them. I really enjoy it when a die hard gibson player and fan plays one of my Hollowbody models and then drools when they play it and ask where it came from and where they can get one. Then when I tell them they look in disbelief and when I tell them the price they cry.... as they paid way to much for their Gibson baby.. these will only continue to increase in value I think especially now that the Gibson market has gotten so much out of control. Gotta love the way they play and sound and the craftsmanship is very evident once you see and play one.

Told my worship leader at church about the possible aquisition of Mr. Bishop and as he scratched his head, he muttered "I might have to seriously look into this Electra thing". He likes the way my 280 plays and is always searching for a better sound................fish on!

Well, getting closer to the auction end and I haven't seen much feedback on this beauty. Hopefully I can get it for a decent price. Boy, that would sure make my year!

There's no real feedback to leave. Elvins simply kick butt in every way.

This one looks very nice - I don't see a thing to complain about.

$760 with 46 hours to go... and the reserve has still not been met.

Surprise, surprise, surprise!
