Unfortunately I wasn't able to buy it at the time but it's still lodged in my brain. If you are the person who bought it are you interested in selling it to an overseas buyer from England? Jazzyvee Oh here is the picture i saved of it :-) tbrannon Intermediate Member Username: tbrannon Post Number: 187 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Saturday, October 14, 2006 - 1:15 am:    beautiful guitar~ If I remember correctly, I think Bill (lbpesq) mentioned he might be selling his Electrum when his custom is finished. I've tried searching for the post, but I'll be darned if I can find it. Take all of what is written above with a grain of salt- I've been known to be confused on occasion. It might not be Bill, or might not be an Electrum =) jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 612 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, October 14, 2006 - 2:55 am:    Yes it is a beauty, It reminded me of the Dragon Magic guitar that is in the Gallery. I have looked for it but can't find it using the search. I love that shape.

I'm not sure how much time I have up there as we are travelling Saturday sometime and staying overnight to leave Sunday. We have rehearsal this week so I should get more information.

In that case, he is correct. As for the guitar in the above picture, it looks very sweet, but given the shape and number of pickups, I'm not so sure it's an Electrum, or, if it is, it is an Electrum in name only, otherwise sharing little with the Electrum design. I mean, if it has a different shape, different number of pickups, and different electronics, isn't it essentially a different guitar?

As I suspected, not an Electrum. It's been over a year, but as I recall I had some interest in this guitar and contacted the seller, but he wanted a very high price. I think it may have gone around ebay a time or two and didn't sell.

I'd love to get hold of it for the right price obviously. jazzyvee.
