Title: My 1985 Electrum 85E3781
Post by: robsiegel on April 28, 2019, 12:03:09 PM
Hey, folks. I thought I'd show a few pics of my Electrum. I'm the original owner. I bought it new at a long-gone music store, RSF Music in Belmont outside of Boston, MA. It's the only electric guitar I ever fell in love with BEFORE I EVEN PLUGGED IT IN. Just the feel of the neck and the sustain... I was in love. At the time, the last thing I needed was another solid-bodied guitar, but I was totally smitten. I think I traded in an old hollow-bodied Vox I had to knock a hundred bucks off the price. It's got one double-coil and two single-coils, which is a combination I don't see in the other otherwise similar Electrums here on the site. I've got the original paperwork from Alembic, but I can't find it at this moment.

It was my main electric for most of the years I played rock and roll. For nearly 20 years I've been doing the singer-songwriter thing, so I haven't been playing much electric. My old band only gets together a few times a year in the basement, so the old girl doesn't see much sunshine. But I just opened up the case, and the smell of the wood is still incredible.

No plans to sell, just thought I'd share.
