EB-2d...

..or a mod?  No toggle, but pots look lined up right.  They didn't make one in 64, no?  But that looks like the right time and maybe came that way.  Thoughts?

Without a peak at the orange label in the soundhole, I'm gonna sit here a skeptic.

Not rule out originality I would. Difficult to fathom what went on back then with Gibson is. Always changing was.

I don't know how you get your peaks with holes and such, Jake, but I'd take a peek at the soundhole!!!

I used to maintain the security equipment in a Catholic boys school in west London, but somewhat bizarrely they had a mixed sixth form (17/18 year olds) ... always thought someone had a rather perverse sense of humour with that one... :-\

But I am your Catholic, Jake! So should you be, given your ancestors.



No jokes about taking a leak and taking a leek either!!!

No divisive statements, Ken, please!!! We have to respect everyone's feelings. Uranus might be someone else's Venus.

It's my inclusive self. I tend to think about the hole rather than its parts.

Ah... parts... leaves an opening for some culture, before I bring us back on thread...

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts...

Back on thread...?

2d, or not 2d, that is the question... of course... ;)

It could have been a custom order.

A special delivery.  Delivered to the back door?
