Did James play his actual OGV Electra on stage yesterday?

It certainly wasn’t the replica he brings on tour

It's not a replica, it said Electra on a truss rod cover, not Hetfield. But it's not the original guitar either: there's no scribbles on the back and no signs of headstock breakage and repair. Apparently they had successfully tracked down several original Electra Flying Wedges (that's the proper name of this model) from the 80s a couple of years ago, and James sometimes uses them.

It was the replica

Edit: Nope - It's not the replica and it's not the OGV - It's another Elektra V. I had to go back and re-watch the stream to confirm.

He has another Electra poignantly named "New Electra" that copies the visual style but not the sound of the OGV.

OGV has been retired from the stage for quite a long time due to the wear and tear it endured.
It is exclusively a studio guitar.
