The above pictures were identified in the old Electra site as an X180, but no mention of an X180 is in any pricelist, and it is believed to actually be an X190. Both share the non-strat Electra Phoenix 3-way switch for bridge and neck pickup and fat switch to turn the middle pickup on. The X190 essentially replaced the X175 by adding that additional humbucker to the X175вЂ™s S-S-S. The X190 offered much of the same range in what today we would call a superstrat configuration, which made all kinds of sense in a day when playing lead guitar meant all kinds of shredding.

The X190 was the answer to all those (and there must have been at least a few) who argued that the X185 and X189 were too complicated and unfamiliar what with their H-S-H and all those knobs.

In the new letter designation system for model ranges, the LX was considered the full professional line, and had the best of everything, excepting only the set neck of the FX series.Д«olt neck double cutaway with maple body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, black hardware, graphite nut and Bendmaster FT two-post bridge, locking nut, one humbuckers, two single-coil pickups with three pull-switch knobs (V-T-T) for coil tap, fat (center on) and phase and 3-way selector switch. Unlike the cheaper Bendmaster DX, which used a stamped plate which protruded rather far from the guitar body, the FT was slim and low profile. The tremolo frenzy had continued, and although reasonable minds might have argued that a correctly adjusted full-floating bridge out to offer plenty enough tuning stability if used carefully, wilder voices insisted that the only way to go truly crazy and return to tune again was a locking nut, and that meant a bridge with fine tuners. In 1985 the X198 replaced the X189, upgraded not only with a new brand and model name, but a new tremolo system with locking nut and Bendmaster FT bridge, whose cast plate held fine tuners. The remaining glob of silicone caulk glue is still coming off, very slowly.Bolt neck double cutaway with maple body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, black hardware, graphite nut and Bendmaster FT two-post bridge, locking nut, two humbuckers, one single-coil pickup with three pull-switch knobs (V-T-T) for coil tap, fat (center on) and phase and 3-way selector switch. It previously had a large silver belt buckle glued to the front, which came off without damage to the guitar. This example appears in 'as found' confdition, with missing bridge hardware and graffiti scratched into the top. If SLM had sold this guitar it seems likely that it would show up in a catalog, or another example would appear. One possible explanation for this undocumented model is that it could have been ordered not by SLM, but by PCM, who distributed in much smaller quantities. At the time any US distributor could simply order up any model and have whatever brand name and logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. The detail of the brown paper still glued to the control cavity ciover, as well as the general fit and finish of the instrument, are in every way identical to details of various models of Crown guitar, a brand known to have been distributed by Hoshino and made by Fuji Gen Gakke.ДЄlthough this is a rare Electra model, if we look at other brands we see similar copies of this model sold under other brands such as Greco. It is also the only known example of an Electra guitar to be made with P-90 pickups. This remarkable specimen is the only known example of this model, which does not appear in any known catalog. Dual P-90 pickups, Rhythm/Treble switch, VVTT controls.
