Another nice EB-1 on ebay........1958
« on: March 06, 2011, 08:17:37 AM »
You don't see many EB1's being sold made in 1958, last year of production & only 45 shipped that year. I could buy up all of the 20/20's in existence for what this would cost me. Still a bargan when you concider what a Les Paul or a 335 of the same era would go for. Whats the Power Ball up to?

It's only about $40 million. Hardly worth playing.  ;D

This one's not only a bargain compared to late 50s Les Pauls, it's dirt cheap for Norman's Rare Guitars. Still higher than most other vintage dealers would ask.

No. Norman's knows their gear, and that's definitely a 58 serial number. Besides, it has hang tags.
