I have a 70s or 80s Electra Phoenix X130N up for sale. I have had this guitar since around 96' or so, and it was my first electric. I have honestly purchased more electrics than I should have through the years, and this one doesn't get as much love as it should. Just trying to thin out the herd. I think it would make an excellent starter guitar or maybe an Electra enthusiast would enjoy having it. That said it was made in Japan, plays very well, and has the original MMK 45 pickups(which seems to spoken well of in the old Electra forums, although this forum seems to have gone by the wayside.) I don't know much about the guitar other than what I remember from that forum. I do know that the saddles, nut, and tone/volume knobs are not original. It was like that when I got the guitar almost 30 years ago. I believe the nut is bone, but not 100% sure on that. The neck is a comfy C shape, not wizard thin and def not a ball bat. All electronics are functional, there is a pickup selector and coil tap switch.
I don't know the exact date of manufacture, but seems to be 70s to early 80s. The serial number from the headstock is in the pics. There are dents and dings throughout, but I think its in good shape considering its 40 -50 years old. The cowboy chord frets(first three) have a little wear, but plenty of life left. It is missing one of the tuner covers. I am listing as local pickup only as the shipping cost will add a lot to the price. I can include a bodyglove gig bag that I bought for it, but my late dog chewed the handle and the webbing will need to be replaced. The strings were taken off due to age and pick guard access to get wiring/pickup pictures. I have Dadarrio lights that I can install if you like.
If you google "Electra x130n" and look at the river city amps page there is a little more info on the model.
