PS - when this first popped up, it had photos of a wenge Electrum with a different S/N (of course) and $150+ shipping, so I worried it might have been a scam.

hey thank you very much effclef!!!!  i called alembic to find out what was up with that electrum.  when i had reached them on the phone,mica looked it up and the pics were swapped back to the orion baritone guitar that it was.  mica and mary (i think),were probally thinking i was on glue or something,cause i tried to explain that elecrum to her.  she thought i was a bit crazy!!  it was funny!  
    anyways to make a long story short, i seen the pics of the true guitar up for grabs.   AND I GRABBED IT!!!!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA.  i'm so happy now all i have to do is learn how to play guitar!!!!
     my main problems is just making chords.  its just a little bastard instument and i can never make clean chord changes.  so i am hoping that a larger scale baritone guitar may give me more room to make chords,thus making it easier for me.   plus i can always let my guitar player in my band use it.
    he was looking for a Gibson or something with 2 humbuckers, to go with his single coil strat.  
    i wanted to get the first one that had went on ebay.  it matched my orion bass  absolutely perfectly.  bud i got outbid in the last 30 seconds.  i seen an opputunity for a buy now for $1445+$82 for shipping.  it had a nicer top and i didnt want to get into a bidding war,seeing that the first one went for $1,625.  
    so yeah a member did get it.  and i am asking him for the photos of that electrum also.  if he emails them to me i'll be sure to post them.  i dont want the Wickersham's to think i had lost my mind.   thanks for the electrum back up!
