baritone switch (in Michigan we call this the Ted Nugent button)

:mrgreen:

Maybe prices are falling. Seems like it's lower than recent asking prices for a 68 in that condition.

Agreed seems like a good price. Make a call, maybe you can get it a little lower ;)

That's a good price, tho' still not as good as the $200 I paid in '91 for my '68 Gibson EB-2.
Go for it.

Nor as good as the $125 I paid for my 1958 EB2n in 1982.

The "C" thing made me go "hmmm..."

At least they know it's a baritone switch and not a "bass boost" switch. I'll forgive them for thinking it's a C for Cepiphone.

Wow, I am surprised about that price. It is on consignment - perhaps the seller needs to flip it fast.
