I like that body shape.
Kinda' Spoiler-esque, ain't it?
Just to clarify my position, I'm not really
serious about this listing, just
interested in it. The price is a little silly-season for all that foolishness at the headstock, and there's always the larger point that
I don't need it. But see, my yard sale sensibilities zone-in on a fixer-upper way before my eyes see the price tag, or the problem-solving part of my brain processes how much trouble it'll be. In the meantime, it ain't goin' anywhere so I'll ponder...
It was 'before my time' here, so no experience at all with these. The reference page says they were an active model from 1978-85. This one is a 1989 which makes it a little late to the party but that happens plenty. I nosed through the Electrum Showcase and was surprised at how many variations on the model there were. Most I saw had the 'Bishop' headstock. Several different electronics configurations. Quite a few with Kahler trems, which I guess was an 80's thing to do. Even a couple set-neck E models. I saw one with three STR pickups even. This one has two knobs and a pointer, so I'm guessing the controls are simply Volume/Filter/Pickup Selector. The pickups look like HG activators, just like I put in the Miyagi guitar. It says the Kahler was replaced with a Gotoh bridge. I don't know enough about guitar hardware to know how egregious that is. I don't particularly care for wigglesticks anyway, so I'd probably deck it.
Again, just thinking out loud... I know very little about the guitar models. I wonder if these were medium-scale or long? Available in either, I reckon.
