Is that a newer one? A couple luthiers in the area bought the name several years ago with intentions to reissue. I know they had it going for a year or two, but I don’t know the current status.

I have always wanted one of those, if this is what you refer to.

No this is an older one, 1978. They made a series of 5 of these MPC models. These have effects modules that fit into the back of the guitar. I own 2 - X310's, 1 - X320, 1 - X330, 1 -X340 (That's the one in the pic and no Midge sorry you can't have it). All are 1978-79 models. X340's are pretty hard to find and so is the X350 which is still on my wish list. Electra came out with 12 effects modules, I currently have 9 of the 12.
But yes the Florida guys did have one or two runs of new Electra guitars and basses several years back. Their website is still active, however, all guitars are "sold out". It's been that way for quite awhile. Occasionally they will list some "new" old stock on Reverb. I've got my eye out for a white Omega model.

It also inspired me to check out our prior guitar thread where xxxMidgexxx had the following to say:
Dear everyone,
I don't NEED to have 100 + guitars in my collection. After all, guitars and records are just extensions of your penis.
And I am secure enough in my sexuality where I just need 1 good piece with excellent action.
So enough already.

Save the pic as a .jpg or some other file type associated with pics and upload it to imgur.com and then from there, you can link it to message boards like this one. That's how I do it and I only figured that out in the last year or so, I think.

I have an anti-materialistic weltanschauung going for life in general, and towards guitars in specific. I have five guitars that have been in the quiver forever, are suitable, and comprise "all I need".
But last month, I spotted a M-series Steinberger guitar for sale local to me that is basically a duplicate of one of my mains. These things rarely come up for sale, much less in great shape at a good price. (It's 20 years old, but like new, inherently affordable, and right down the street from me!) I'm torn: part of me wants to buy it simply because "when are you ever going to find one of those again, in that condition, at a great price?" It's a great find & deal, but the purchase would be straight-up hoarder tendency in action, not based in need.
I mean, my absolute favorite guitar is a Guild M75GS Bluesbird, 1970. I haven't seen one under $2500 that's the same as mine, and in better shape than mine. If I see one, I guess I'll buy it just because I'm never going to find one like that again. (Ironically, exactly what I have came up available on eBay, but in crappy condition though: https://www.ebay.com/itm/334052239859 )
But as a "bought things don't make you happy" philosophy person, I don't want to just hoard stuff that I already have. Barring a house fire, I probably won't lose the one I have.
Buy or not buy?
Arg.
