1960 EBO project

[cmaj]

Absolutely.  Same idea as my '64 EB-0 with one Dimarzio and one mudbucker...but you're gonna need to fill in a bit around the second pickup...

You're loaded for bear with that one.

No, I meant the Black EBO with Binding and the pickup moved closer to the badass bridge. String through body, schaller tuners.

Thanks, Tom.  Interesting article.

The supposedly "original" Pelham blue bass on the bottom isn't.  P/G is wrong, hand rest never was...even the headstock is off, it's wide like SG EBOs to fit Klusons.  Compare it to to one on Gene's which had banjos originally.  I don't think PB was introduced until '63.  Must be a "prototype"

Agree with the colour, headstock and the handrest. But the pickguard seems ok?

It's been moved closer to the bridge than it should be.  There's something strange going on with the neck heel and where the pickup locates...maybe it IS a prototype.

Mine's in the correct location.  I lost the original about 40 years ago but the mounting screws are in the original holes.  I need to make a better one, did a crap job around the pickup.

Yeah, something's definitely off with that headstock, yet it does look like it had banjo tuners. Could have been a prototype but not in that color.

Knobs are wrong also. 

I think those banjos were retrofitted to an SG style headstock.  They are 3 inches wide  compared to 2 1/2" wide banjo tuner headstocks which are also 1/4" longer.  Same spacing vertically and horizontally for both types of tuners and the hole diameters are close.

There it goes.............. to rich for my blood.

[Bionic-Joe]

Well...maybe someday I can find a cheap one...

[Nocturnal]

That's crazy.

[Bionic-Joe]

Someone bought it for $600!!! Darn it!!

[amptech]

And soon the world might see yet another all original pelham blue EB-0

Noone in here got it, then?

[Granny Gremlin]

I'd like to think we all got more sense than that.
