USED Gibson / 1973 EB-0 Cherry [05]

We have just received a 1973 EB-0 in good condition.

This is a simple one-pickup design with a hint of good old Gibson design elements.

EB-0 was originally JP Jr. style, but this one was changed to SG shape and the head was changed from slotted to what is called Gibson head.
It consists of a mahogany body, short scale 3-piece maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard.

Schaller M-4-S pegs are used, and the serial number is 892892, which is characteristic of a 1973 model, making it a 1973 model.
Volume POT DATE is 137-701X (Tone is unreadable), but the solder shows no history of replacement, and the pots were probably purchased in bulk in 1970 and used over the years.

The large metal pickup covers and the sharp body shape characteristic of this period give the guitar a nostalgic feel.

There is no problem in playing, and although there are some dents on the sides, the appearance is still clean for this age. The reddish color of the cherry wood is still present.

The case is made by Gibson, but it is not the right size and moves inside. It appears to be a case for a Ripper/Grabber of the period.

Please consider it.
