Hey everybody, I'm new to the club. Join last week. I present you my Elan 5. Elan 5 strings, narrow neck. I bought it new in 1989 at Steve's; in toronto. I'm the original and only owner. Serial num: 88H5062 date: 9-9-88 - Two-tone burl walnut top - Maple body - Neck fully laminated purple heart,maple. - Chrome GOTOH tuners - Brass bridge and bird tailpiece - P and J pick ups. 3 knobs 1 q switch. Followed me on the road for 15 years, never failed me. Solid and fast, infinit sustain. No slapping & poppin on that thing though. D-E-A-D-G. Killer-D. I'm ''still'' running it through a Yamaha PB-1 with a bryston amp and a hartke 4X10. (if it works, don't try to fix it) Michel, Montreal, Canada.

Beautiful Elan, Michel! The burl is gorgeous, and, while I definitely love the accent lams in most Alembics, the look of Elan models such as yours, with the top wood just sitting on the body -has it's own minimalistic beauty.
It's awesome, and it's nice to see someone who's still happily married to their first Alembic!
Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Thank you sir,
Check this out, I include here a picture of her sister, ex-holder: the mule (wilfred).
Her serial num:88H4912, mine is 88H5062.
I sure wish I had that 4 strings to keep company to my 5!
