My growing love affair with Electra Guitars.

Horribly cheap, very well made and they definately have their own cool little vibe.

I just bought a 1980 x250 with active eq, coil splitter and out of phase switch for $150. Set neck, brass nut, ash body with walnut stain, plays great and sounds really cool. Flipping on the treble/bass boost will make you ears bleed and sounds really cool when running into my od pedal. The pedal calms down the volume and has a pretty unique sound.

I may be about to buy a les paul copy. No serial, but from it's features I think it's somewhere between 1972 and 76. Pearl block inlay on fretboard with pearl custom like inlay and pearl "Electra" on headstock. Bolt on neck but also a very nice player with it's own kinda unique vibe. Pretty dang heavy too. Aslo included is a case(orginal?) and an old sears & roebuck solid state amp apparently from the same time period. Asking price $75.

These are just really fun guitars. If you find one in good shape definately stop and try it.
