http://www.indysworld.com/guitars/Electra/headstocks/

probably added about 30 new pics...

I'm going to be re-organizing it more, so if you have any pics I missed, please let me know.

Also, if there's somethin I can do to make this page more helpful, let me know...
and what may be helpful for someone who's researching an Electra they just inherited, or found at a pawn shop, etc....

Currently the organization is based like this (roughly):

Dist Co.
--> Headstock Style
----->String Count

Known pics I'm missing:
---------------------------------
PCM Mandolin (have pic)
Dynasty Bass (yes, it's westone Branded, but it's still Dynasty Branded, so I'm going to include it...) (have pic)

Looking good Mick! Maybe you should have a truss rod cover pictorial at the bottom.

I include that in the mix with the headstocks... if there's a diff TRC on a headstock I keep the picture in, or if it's a same headstock with a different fretboard (wood or inlay) I also include it... same for the few lefty's in there...

Thanks for updating Mick. That reverse headstock has got to be impossibly rare, and also saw that you included the laminated wave headstock from the 'Starsky and Hutch' workingman... Too Cool!

I have a pic of a Crate Electra headstock I'd send you if interested - just tell me how to get it to you.

It's different , but posting or sending pics on this forum is way too difficult!

clicking the button just opens up your default mail client and puts my email address in the to field for you... if you don't like the default mail client, you can copy and paste the email address...
