Hey wondering if anyone can help me figure out more about my electra. I just got it the other day. I love how it sounds and plays but would just like to know a little more about it.

Thanks!

I am guessing that it is a 2245 Super Rock made about 1974-1976.

You do indeed have an early model 2245 Super Rock in great shape. Congrats. :up:

Wouldn't an early model have the Electra logo in script form?

correct. the combination of open book with peace sign logo is probably '76. maybe late '75?

Thanks everybody! I had an epiphone les paul 100 but I just didn't like it. I came across this electra and I fell in love with her. Long story short sold the epiphone and bought her.

...and you'll be a happier camper for it. Liking the bridge pup on yours, looks to be a Maxon by the combo pole construction.

How's the sustain? Would Nigel T. be proud of it?
