Fortunately I specialize in Johnny Ramone slash-and-burn bar chords. It plays like my other Matsumoku guitars – low action, comfortable neck, but the frets are too small for shreddin’ and headbangin’. I could check the serial number but I don’t care. That makes it an early1984 model, or possibly late 1983. This was one of the last Electra models imported by Saint Louis Music before they switched to Matsumoku’s Westone brand. Same body shape, same headstock, same wood type (maple), same tiny position markers. This Electra Phoenix obviously looks a lot like my Westone Concord SX. My mom bought it and a solid state Marshall practice amp at a yard sale for $60. I believe I got this for my fifteenth birthday. Nobody takes a guitar with a built-in speaker seriously – not even me.
