Blondes have more fun ...
« on: November 27, 2008, 11:25:44 AM »
Remember the 59 sunburst banjo head EB-2 I bought on Ebay many moons ago. With the defect pup, possibly a neck reset and a less than inconspiciously repaired horizontal headstock fissure. Pup has been rewound and I've had her strip for me (pic from my luthier, haven't seen her in actual beauty yet):

She's purdy. Call her Liesl or Gretl or some other nice Bund Deutscher Mädel-sounding name.

And one black plastic pickup at the neck... that's all you need.  ;)

Your luthier is slow but sure.

Very nice looking.  Though it seems like it should be easy, stripping a burst finish off can be a headache.


Model One and Schallers?  Ish.

don't actually remember this.... perhaps it was in one of those weeks that I had work to do rather than time to kill. Was the sunburst a refin? Why did you strip it?

Are there any before pics for all of us who were not paying attention first time :-[

I think this is the thread: http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=200.0

Unfortunately the auction pics are no longer up.
