Very Nice...I might have to see if I can sell a few instruments to see if it's in the stars.

Elan body, Elan electronics.
Maple body, three piece Maple neck.
Classic neck taper.
I can't recall whether Elans were generally 34 or 32.
Brass hardware, chrome tuners.
Probably a figured Walnut top body laminate.
The accent laminate may be Purpleheart.
Appears to be It is a '92 Elan.
Headstock top and back laminates are probably Walnut.
