Hi Mica,

I just purchased an Electrum on Ebay with serial no. 83E2726. Could you give me information about it?
Thanks Much!

It's recorded as an ELG6 Electrum guitar

top: Quilted Maple (called "Bubbly Maple" in the file)
body: Mahogany
neck: Maple with Purpleheart through body
scale: 25.5"
fingerboard: Ebony with pearloid oval inlays
birthday: June 15, 1983

We haven't heard from this guitar since we made it. The store it was originally sold to is not recorded. Please take a moment to register your guitar if you haven't already.

Hope you're enjoying it!

Mica,
Thanks for the info!

I was wondering, was this guitar a limited edition?

Hi Claire,

Congratulations on your new purchase!
Any chance that you may post a picture of it? I'm not familiar with this model. I'd really like to see it.

Cheers!

Wow!

Claire, you have that?!! I only know Alembics as a bass player, but that's one gorgeous guitar.

Congrats,

Yep, this is the one (the one in Michael's pic).

I think it is a beautiful instrument, and hopefully, it plays as well as it looks ;)

We should be receiving the guitar this week, and I will post the pictures as soon as I can.

Thanks for the posts!
