5/3/2023 0 Comments Electra les paul manual![]() ![]() I brought this guitar with me to Germany back in '78, and it was for many years my main/only guitar, paying for itself many times over. Due to the muddiness of position 1, I also put in an OBL EQ4000. Here's the back side with the covers opened so you can see what was going on in there. The original Magnaflux PUs went seriously microphonic, so I replaced them with Carvin M22s. The first two pots are master volume and tone, behind them are switches and pots to dose in each of the 2 available effects. Note the 5-way switch: positions 2-4 were the standard neck/both/treble pickups in parallel, position 1 was both in series (full but muddy), position 5 was both in series but out of phase (usable). The tiger-striping on the sunburst took me over the edge- only years later did I realize that the top was laminated oh well. I was in love with Les Pauls, but their quality at that time was really spotty, plus Electra had exchangeable effects modules, which back then was high-tech deluxe. START: my very first electric guitar was a 1977 Electra MPC330X, which I bought new in Indianapolis AT RETAIL PRICE (young, poor and VERY foolish). This is going to be a long story, will try to split it up into reasonable portions.
