This model has clearly evolved away from copy status into the original designs of the 80's. Note the serial number, high production numbers in 12/82 leading to this 7-digit example. The Custom Pro was clearly intended to represent the high end of Matsumoku luthiery.

Set neck ES-335 style with black finish, no humbuckers, rosewood fretboard with dot inlay markers, brass nut and bridge, white pickguard.









From the 1981 pricelist:

Set neck ES-335 style with antique sunburst, rosewood fingerboard with Tree of Life inlays, silver hardware, brass nut.

The above Electra promotional poster showed Elvin and Johhny V. (Vernassa) playing what appear to be an Electra Elvin Bishop and an Electra Maple Pro.
