From the May 2012 Premier Guitar: John Brown restores an EB-OF (http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/2012/May/Restoring_a_1963_Gibson_EB_OF_Fuzztone_Bass.aspx)
Interesting bit about how Gibson used burlap to apply the grain filler.
Very cool!
The burlap was how I learned to do it, and with alkyd flat white oil paint to do a limed LP finish. When it tacks, the burlap is coarse enough to drag it off the wood, but tight enough to squish it into the grain.
Cool! I'm still trying to get around to having mine restored, I'll get an estimate from them..................
Nice! Thanks for posting!
...Having a '65 EB3 restored right now.
You can actually record with that fuzz sound and the results are sweet!

Not surprised; he used 4 x Acoustic 361s .........................not what you meant? ;)
I have significant mid-range deafness; can't follow a conversation in a noisy bar for eg. I put it down to 36 Slade gigs and around 10 Motorhead gigs. ;D
