Elevation Electro acoustic with 2 pickups and 4 control knobs ?

pip

Came across a Elevationn Electro acoustic guitar with 2 pick ups and 4 control knobs. It looked like a possibly  1970s  guitar.

I have searched on line and I cannot find anything similar. Does anyone have any information tomsettle my curiosity.It was priced £65.

Do you mean a semi-acoustic, like a Gibson ES335?

The only Elevation branded guitars I've ever seen are modern cheapos - I currently own a half-size child's/travel Strat copy, which I'm trying to sell...

Photographs would help.

You could be looking at an electro-acoustic guitar to which somebody has retro-fitted a second pickup.

A friend of mine used to have a hybrid guitar, constructionally acoustic, fitted with an under-saddle piezo transducer and a magnetic pickup where a sound hole would normally be. I remember it as being from a subsidiary of Höhner. 

Unfortunately, it is possible that you are misdescribing a semi-hollow electric guitar or a fully hollow "jazz" guitar.

It was a Elevation electro acoustic made to look similar to a Martin D28. It had 2 white pick ups and four white knobs.. But its probably modified then and not standard.No pic unfortunately.

More sensible than modifying an expensive guitar, if you want to do something a bit off the wall...

One of those 3/4 size Japanese Fender Teles would be more off the wall, been hunting one for years!
