Rare 1977 Electra X-510 Howard Roberts-style archtop - $1,200 (eugene)
QR Code Link to This Post
The Matsumoku factory produced these guitars under the Tokai, Greco and Ibanez labels. This guitar features a flamed maple front and back, mahogany sides and a mahogany neck. The Electra was commissioned by Gibson in the early to mid 1970’s and later produced in Japan as part of Gibson’s Epiphone line. The rosewood fretboard is beautiful and this is an early version decorated with fanciful (and rare) inlays. Sporting the Gibson “open-book” headstock, this is a true find as later Electra models have a wave-shaped headstock. The humbucking pickups are way cool too.
It comes with the original form-fitting road worthy hardshell case. The guitar alone weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Serial number on request. $1200. Open to reasonable offers. Local only. Will not ship or trade. Please don't ask if it's available. If the ad is seen here, it is.
