Until we know what we area dealing with I thought this would be the best place to find out what you've lucked upon.

If you already have the pictures saved you can upload them using the link just below the message text box when you are posting a message. Don't worry about goofing it up. If you get the pictures uploaded to imageshack and at least get the URLs in your message one of us can fix it if it needs to be.

This even came with a older hard plastic Gibson case. If it had a gibson headstock I would swear it was a gibson. Bolt on neck with allen neck adjustment screw. All inlays are a very nice mother of pearl two humbuckers layout just like a gibson. My first try at pictures .

That's really interesting. It makes me wonder if the details might be similar to those of older Electra LP's. Are there any model stickers on it? (I didn't see any). Also, are there any markings on the neck plate?

That would be neat if it is a older electra am restoring a 335 copy, but no stickers and no markings on the plate. Wish I could get on the electra sight but something is blocking

Took advice checked pickups no MMK ?? Lifted tuning machines and only holes in the headstock are the ones holding on the tuners. Look identical to the GoToh Classical tuning machines on page 43 of the Stewmac catalog ????????
