What do you think i should ask? i have owned since new. Have tools and paperwork. a little bit of the gold is coming off the bridge.
Thanks
Barry

If you are offering it here then I would just ask for offers to be pm'ed to you.

If you are putting it up on ebay set a reserve that is easily reachable and let 'er rip.

Or you could do a 99¢ No Reserve if your brave enough. One that original will find the correct price.

Are those supercharger knob stickers? Did they put the supercharger mod in this model?

I believe the stickers just inform users of the push/pull coilcut and phase options (which is nice, same setup on the X935 Endorsers as well as some other models). The Pearl White with Gold hardware Futura is a striking guitar, much cooler than the common red model (in my opinion). Unfortunately both models are a bit of an acquired taste as far as aesthetics go...

Really clean (red) Futura's with a case have been known to go for around $300, you could expect yours in nice shape, with case and tag to exceed that. I would think that $400 may be the upper limit, but who knows. Good luck, and welcome aboard, Mike.

Very nice example you have there. The white model futura is also a reverse body of the red model.They are an aquired taste so far as looks go but they shape on this one is actually very comfortable to play standing or sitting. The neck is pretty much the same as any other phoenix model. Fast and smooth. In this original condition and with case and tags etc I would tend to agree with Mikes estimate in the $300-$400 range but you never know with ebat etc. I would set a conservative reserve and see where it goes. Would also be great to see a forum member snag her. If it were mine I would keep it but then again it's hard for me to let any of my Electras go. Good Luck I would play her again before I decide to sell just to make certain you won't regret the sale later.

Good call Barry. I think just about any guitarist you talk to has a story about a guitar they regret selling at sometime or another. Mike.

I think I need a tattoo with those sentiments.
FWIW - I think keeping it was the right choice as well.

Congrats on a wise choice and Enkoy the Electra.

Gotta agree with the general consensus, Barry. Hold on to it as long as you can. If the time comes at least you know one place you can rest assured you will find a buyer who will cherish it.
