OK, here is what I started with. Got both of these off of ebay several years back. The EB-0 came first. It was a fascinating wreck, in that it had some severe control area damage, including a chunk that was lost, partially repaired at different times, and it also had a funky smell, like it had been in a flood or musty damp basement. It was I think around $200 or less, so I snagged it. I was going to paint it glow-in-the-dark with glow in the dark knobs and pickguard, but I gave up on that, and figured I would do an EB-3. I got the EB-3 off of ebay quite a while later, several months to a year, in hopes of using the body. The neck had the goofiest ever headstock repair. It had no angle at all. It was a not thought out amateur repair. So, I snagged that - around $200 again - and both sat around. Family issues and health stuff, and death, stopped most of my tinkering for a few years. But eventually I did this, and here are the pics.
