Near mint 1968 EB-0 at Norm's

Norm himself doing the demo.

Usually not a very good sign when a 55 year old instrument has barely been used.
But this one seems to be the exception.

Nice low hoovering cloud.

I agree about the condition quality thing but there were so many guitars and basses sold in the 60's that there must b more to come.

[Grog]

Nice!!

[Dave W]

Of course it sounds great. When you want that sound, nothing else will do.

[Ken]

That's really cool.  I wonder what they're charging for that.

[Alanko]

Sounds sweet against the Tele and acoustic. I use my Rivoli a lot now when the other guys are playing acoustics. No competition for frequencies!

$2,095.

Only open three days a week.

[Dave W]

They used to be open 5 days. Maybe covid changed things, or maybe Norm's recent health scare.

Not a bad price in this condition, right?

[Dave W]

You might get one for a bit less from a private party. It's definitely reasonable for a retail dealer, especially from a Gibson dealer like Norm.

Holy crap.  That sounds really reasonable.
