ELK PT-390 Phantom Guitar
ELK is very old Amplifier and guitar manufacturer here. I think they started in 60's.
So, they made more antique designed guitar before 70's.
ELK products were used by many professional musicians here.
I remember their Amp is just like Fender type, It was so expensive for boys.
The guitars were pretty expensive too. In 70's they started to produce the several replica guitars such
as SG, Fender Tele, ST, PB, JP and etc...
This SG is made in 1972 as a first good replica of SG.
I have checked this guitar compare with other SG replica.
Well, this guitar has already set-neck construction. The PU is also real humbucking type.
The metal hardwares should be all original (with gold plated).
The sound is a bit hard compare with real SG. However, the neck PU is really warm and good tone.
The condition of this guitar is good as over 35 years old.
The neck, frets and electric circuits are proper condition (well, this is very old, not like brand new).
I have been collecting many 70's made JV guitar. I have another ELK SG.
If you are really fan for JV rare brand guitar, this could be your good collection.
The guitar will be shipped with70's made used hard case (this is not original)
Well, try Japanese JV guitars!!!
