Late EB-3s ...

Danke. Another act of caring, affirmative action towards the unloved ones of the seventies.

I'm glad it will have a good home, but I think you overpaid for affirmative action.

It's in very good to excellent condition, an EB-3 (not an -0), it's unfaded cherry, not walnut or browned cherry and the late ones are not that prevalent. That all played a role for me. I've never seen a late one in good condition for less than 1.000 bucks and sometimes they were even a 1.800 bucks at - admittedly expensive - US vintage dealers.

That and the still pleasingly low exchange rate for the Dollar!

congrats, uwe.  you're gonna need a bigger office soon!

[uwe]

That is indeed a concern. Once again, us Germans are faced with lack of Lebensraum.

[Highlander]

Could you invade a neighbouring office and annexe it...?

[uwe]

LOL!!!!

I just see that "border incident" approaching which will require sharp retaliation ...

[PhilT]

Issue an ultimatum, then contact the British Foreign Office. They'll sort it out for you.  (Though they do have a history of changing their minds later.)

Congrats Uwe. You've soon reached total completion, even including all variations within one model.

In the end he will have to collect for finishes or move on to another brand like the "F" word.

[uwe]

I dread the word "complete" with the sacred collection!!!

Gibson will never let ze Kollection be complete.

Thanks Jules. You are always a source of comfort, blatant disregard of the 20/20 on your fine pages or not!

Heston Aerodrome, 2009, due to a time paradox, Neville Chamberlain steps forward waving a 20/20 brochure in his hand...

"I have in my hand, a piece of paper, which means bass in our time..."

Rapturious applause breaks out as the massed ranks of Gibsons prepare to annexe the next floor...
