Those are not Electra pickups, most likely all the electronics have been gutted, non-original nut, probably not the original bridge, and the tailpiece looks like a spoiler on a hopped up Honda (got it set high enough buddy?). If it still has the 'Bullseye' Grover tuners, those alone are worth about $165 as a set... I used to think my X120 was the most beat up one out there, after the last couple of years, I don't think that anymore!

whoops, in my groggy state, I forgot that the X120 had Grover 'look alike' tuners... it is the Outlaws that have the Real Bullseye tuners... sorry.

I've got Bullseye Grovers on my X120-thought they were original?

I have two examples, neither one has bulls eye tuners. This Chicago CL guitar is pretty messed up.

Who knows for certain..! The ones I've seen (admittedly a very limited number) for sale have had the look-a-like's installed. They look really close to a real Grover but don't have any markings whatsoever on the rear seal. In any event you've got some nice expensive hunks of metal on your Leslie West Ozark!
