this persuader's a pretty old girl:

somebody needs to give this elan a good home:

priced within reason, hope some flipper doesn't grab them.
PJ / 4-string ain't my thing, but i find the smaller body on that persuader strangely attractive.
the top on this elan is just outstanding

it's been calling me - " who cares if I'm in italy and i don't have LEDs! I'd look so good next to your walnut top fretless!".
must resist...
That elan 5 is superb. Looks like it has had the area around the jack repaired at some point. Something that we have seen on a number of elans over the years. Maybe players using straight jacks that have pulled and put a lot of stress on the jack and surrounding wood.
well that was quick. the persuader and the 4-string elan are gone. looks like they were priced to sell, and sell they did.
that 5-string elan in italy keeps calling my name. problem is i already have a maple-bodied-shoulder-buster, but the top on that thing is haunting my dreams.
.... must resist...
