Elfolk Les Paul copy with onboard amp/effects

[TonyMadrid]

I have a Les Paul look-a-like and the only marking I can find is on a battery case cover on the back that says ELFOLK. The guitar is a red solid body guitar with a built in amplifier.

I googled elfolk and found elfolk acoustic/electrics with built in amps made by Kay, but I could not find anything on the solid body model.

The guitar was made in Korea and there are two numbers on gold stickers on the back of the neck near the headstock - 559-1482 and another sticker with the number WO 20582.

Any information about the make, manufacture date or period, and value will be greatly appreciated.

The guitar is structurally in excellent condition and there is still a bit of plastic wrapping material under one of the screws that holds the neck adjustment rod cover in place.

Thanks

Tony

That was the first guitar I ever owned and I wish I never traded mine away. I've been searching the internet for 10 years trying to buy another.

All I can tell you is that I bought mine new from Sears around 1983. They usually sold Memphis, Harmony or Cort guitars so it might have been manufactured by them. Possibly even Marlboro Sound Works.

You can view the 1983 Sears Christmas Catalog here and than scroll to page 427

I had the guitar listed on e-bay and sold it last year to a guy in Finland. Too bad, you didn't see my post sooner.
