Pretty guitars but a little pricey in this economy. There is a nice Electrum on CL for sale:

I'd love to find a nice 80's MIJ Strat with a thick neck and stock PUP and trem configuration (no humbucker or Floyd Rose), but the the several I have seen fall into the 500 - $600 range these days.

That Electrum can't be from 1979. Maybe 1989.

Mica, I was going to question that as well, especially with the H/S/H pickup config.... Which leads to my next question~ When did Alembic produce the first non-series GUITAR???? ("wolf" and other one-offs aside).... Was there a six string distillate equivalent in the late seventies?
