Nice top!
 
Seller has a feedback of 1; and the description suggests that seller doesn't know much about the item that they are listing.

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.
