Gibson EB0 to EB3 Repair and Conversion
« on: February 01, 2022, 10:14:05 PM »
Ed Sparks posted this video on YT tonight. He had posted on FB about the headstock repair and added pickup a couple of years ago, but more work has been done since then. Well done.

Wonder what kind of blend pot he's using. Too bad there wasn't a sound demo.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

 Nice step by step video, the bass came out beautiful. We've all seen lots of EB0 conversions over the years, some good some not so good.  I always enjoy seeing good work.
