Way back in the Seventies, Electra was one of a handful of companies that challenged the big name American manufacturers by offering quality guitars for affordable prices.
Electra guitars were originally designed and marketed in the U.S. but manufactured in Asia, and many of the company's models featured visionary innovations like versatile switching circuits and built-in modular effects. After almost a 30-year absence, Electra is back again with a new line of guitars that follow a similar philosophy of providing maximum value.
The Omega model may look similar to single-cutaway Electra models from the Seventies, but it's a modernized upgrade with even better build quality and value.
