Straight, slight fret wear = Includes original tuners. Original 1984 Electra Westone Phoenix MIJ guitar Neck w/ tuners etc VG = Very Good condition. Please look at the photos and email with any questions. Either way, it fits the guitar like a glove and does its job well. Comes with what may be the original hard case, but I can't be certain that it is original. Plays with good comfortable action and great tone. All parts appear to be original, with the very minor exception of a missing adjustment screw on one of the saddles, even though everything works just fine. The 4th photo which shows the back shows that the cavity cover still has some brown adhesive paper protective covering on the plastic. The photos should tell the story pretty well, even though they are not that great of photos. Only light scratches and wear, some buckle rash on the back, a couple of small nicks, but no major dings, dents, or scratches.

The body shows wear consistent with it being over 30 years old, but it still plays great. This is a very nice looking, easy playing guitar with great. This was also the only MPC that came with a little light to tell you the effects were on or not.Here is a vintage late 1970s/early 1980s electric guitar. This double cutaway guitar can be best described as a modified Les Paul Jr. It features a solid mahogany body, 2 open coil black Super Magnaflux pickups, rosewood fingerboard. This is the rare Leslie West Signature model X120. The most notable was the Super Rock, which was a Les Paul copy. There were a total of 18 guitar models which carried MPC circuits. Today the unusual thing is that the effects are on board, but even offering electronic effects to consumer musicians was fairly new at the time and offers an interesting alternate way to do it.
#ELECTRA WESTONE GUITAR X 185 SERIES#
In 1976 Electra introduced a series of MPC (Modular Powered Circuits) guitar models featured a pair of cartridge slots in the guitar body, which allowed effect modules to be plugged in and controlled from the front of the guitar.

The same qualities make them popular among collectors today. However, the brand never entirely lost its association with inexpensive 'copy' guitars and the brand name was transitioned to Electra Westone in 1984 and Westone in 1985. Later, as all models came to be made by Matsumoku, Electra guitars offered high quality at competitive prices. As a result, early models especially vary in details and quality. Unlike most other brands of imported guitars which were sourced from a single manufacturer, Electra guitars were ordered from all the Japanese factories and distributors. Electra was a brand of electric guitars and basses manufactured in Japan and distributed in the US by two companies owned by brothers: Saint Louis Music (SLM) and Pacific Coast Music in the 1970s and early 1980s.
