Gibson EB-3 Bass - 1962 [YouTube Clip]
« on: August 23, 2010, 04:38:14 PM »
Group...

This is the 1962 EB-3 bass that was resurrected by the guys at "The Lutherie Shop" in Des Moines, IA 50311
www.thelutherieshop.com

They did an incredible job... could not be happier with the repair job!

Congratulations on that.  That is something to be truly glad of.  I certainly would be.

That retouch work (as well as the rest) is beautiful! Love the video too. The proof is in the pudding.

Squirt some Testor's silver on the pup covers, and she'll like new.  Nice save.
