Hello all you electra fans!! I have been bitten by the electra bug!! I bought my first one back in 1984, an X350, I played it for years in bands etc. along with many other guitars. I put it away for a long time because it was starting to get a little rough around the edges due to gigging, nothing big just some finish bruises. I recently got it back out and started playing again, WOW!! I forgot how awesome these guitars are!! As I know most on here are aware!!

Well in the last few months I have bought 2 more LP style models from local peeps, and I WANT MORE!! I have an X310 and an X320 added to the collection and two more modules, 8 total now. I have a many other axes (Fender, Gibson, Schecter, Charvel, Kramer, Yamaha, Aria) but these electras are just so well made I'd put'em up against all my other guitars.

I just wanted to say howdy and I'm really happy to see other like minded people and a site like this dedicated to the discussion of these excellent guitars. I'll try to post some some pics soon :)

Welcome aboard!

Good examples of the LP MPC's are getting harder and harder to find - or for any Electra for that matter -

Here's a couple of pics of mine which I have had for years (bought new) -
