From what I can see - It doesn't get any better than this. I don't think the starting price is out of line either. :evil:

Thats is a nice one. I am fending off the egas as I already have an Elvin but not a stop tail like this one and it also has wave headstock. This one needs a good home. :up:

I plan to bid. Anyone here who also plans to bid should shoot me a note. I've been looking for a Tree Of Life inlay Electra for a while now, but that doesn't mean I want to pay $4900 for it :)

$1377 net.

Ow.
Ow.
Ow.

Given that I've paid $1500 for Heritage H-555s, that price really tests the limits of what an Electra could be worth, I think.

Still, I will be happy when it arrives. :)

It sure looks to be in beautiful shape Jack. Hope you like it. My experience is that the pickups in these are really nice and distinctive. I happen to really love them - excellent build quality all the way around. Congratulations!!!

The Elvin showed up. Yes, it really had blue strings on it. Sounds great though, has a plunky out-of-phase sound even in single-pickup mode.
