This Electra was made in '76 or '77. It has a natural finish with dual humbuckers and pearloid type pickguard found on the Fender model of this guitar. The tuners are amazing, this guitar never comes out of tune. I would have to say this guitar was built true to the original(or maybe better?). Oh, almost forgot to mention the F-hole which one of the previous owners put a little insulation in to reduce feedback.
Sound

This guitar sounds like heaven through my '67 Fender Bassman. I usually run it through a Marshall Lead 12 into the Bassman. Like I said it is pretty much true to the original and sounds just like a Fender. I play many different styles, but I like to play alot of Sonic Youth songs which require me to tune to very different tunings, but this Tele seems to handle it perfectly never slipping out of tune.

This guitar is beautiful even the bit of peeled chrome on the bridge pickup seems like something Fender would charge extra for on one of there Relic something or others. Aged Beautifully.

Ive been playin for eight years now (Im just now 18) and if this or any of my other Electras were lost or stolen I would be extremely upset. Strange enough i own no MPC model so id like to think i own the rarest of them.
