The Electra Forums

I just picked up the X710 Outlaw that was on eBay. It's the one with the headstock repair and came with no modules. My main acoustic guitar is a 1977 SLM Alvarez 000 size guitar. I found out a lot of information on the Electras here and decided an Outlaw might be a great guitar for me and then realizing my Alvarez was also an SLM model, I figured it was a sign. I'm mainly a Gibson guy but I always had a thing for the 80s Japanese Fenders and Japanese guitars in general. I'm excited about the Outlaw. I'm a sucker for good upper fret access. I may have paid a bit much at $350 with the headstock repair and no modules but I really wanted an Outlaw. Eventually I at least want to add a phaser module, but I'm more concerned with playability and pickup options on the 5 way switch.

Anywho, just wanted to introduce myself and say Hello! This is a great site!

Welcome aboard! Let us know what you think of your new Outlaw.

Sure! I plan to post some photos once it arrives also. I have a felling I'm going to really like it and being beat up gives guitars some mojo.

Welcome.

Welcome when is it coming? I may have a phaser to sell I highly recommend one I have three but one is being repaired I hope.

I wish I knew when it would be here. Seller hasn't sent tracking info yet. I am definitely interested in a Phaser module for this guitar. I'll post some photos as soon as it gets here. Should be before the 5th. Also curious what kind of case fits an Outlaw? I work part time at a music store and I can get cases, just need a starting point of which kind of cases so I don't have to pull every case from the back to check with the Outlaw.

I would think a les paul might work.

I've used an Ibanez branded TKL with a Les Paul special so I'll start with those. Thank you! I'm still waiting on the Outlaw, but I'm excited to get it and get it all set up/cleaned up etc.

well?

Did you get it or what?

Well, no. Not yet but it's on the way. The seller sent me plenty of info and tracking yesterday. I am understanding as I know how busy life can be. Still excited to get it and it should be here for sure this week!

Congrats on the Outlaw score. You will happy as they are excellent guitars.Welcome to the Forums
