Members linusâ„¢ Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 sorry, no vintage goldmine. made in Japan, Electra Phoenix.. 3 push - pull pots, phase, coil tap, and an on/off for the middle pickup.. Google says it was made around '84. the lacquer is shrunk up enough you can see its like a 7 piece body. sorry for the cell phone pics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lowbrow Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Had one just like it for a short while. Really nice guitar...pretty good quality build (it's Matsumoku, so no surprise)...but heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RufusFussbuster Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Nice! I just stole the ceramic pickups (MMK45) from an old Matsumoku last week and put them in my Epi LP because I loved the way they sound. If your pickups are marked MMKXX, anything other than 45 is alnico, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vcnyls Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I was hoping for a 1920's Martin but I suppose that's good too. Hey, a free guitar is a free guitar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RufusFussbuster Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 all of the pickups on this thing look to have adjustable (with a hex wrench) pole pieces.. I should have clarified - if they are MMK, it's stamped on the bottom of the pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
