What EB did you get?


Oh, it was another stripped EB-0. Even the headstock, but inlays were fine.  Maybe sanded, clearcoated and worn to pieces again. Listed as a 1963, but it had the big ctr. cavity rout and post 1966 heel, but it was un-broken and un-slotted so I bought it. I´m somewhat short on cash and should stay away from ebay, but I can´t let those low impedance pickups just sit on the shelf, can I?

No you can't,.... and I know because the geetar ones I had were burning an 'ole in the back of me 'ead until I made that archtop acoustic project I posted about a while back.

Always wondered how the superlight maho EB0/3 bodies would take to the LoZ pups, even though you got a later heftier one. 

Anyway, one day I will find a trashed EB2/Rivoli that I can afford.   ... or a Bach.  I dunno.

Just shoot me a PM if you want a BaCH.
They have three colors: Antique Red (transparent), Naturel (clearcoat) en White (solid color). Each is available as either long scale or short scale.

The semi acoustic BaCHs keep coming in.
Both short scale and long scale.

Here's a short scale next to my own long scale prototype




And here's a long scale that arrived just a few days ago. It's ready to go to its rightful owner.

Beautiful.


Thanks for the congrats.  She's almost 7 months old now... sorry for the delay, but I was avoiding this thread due to GAS pains (yep, still hurts). 

Only gear I 've bought recently (and only due to the seller being a dude at work, the nature of the item - I mean come on, right! and a good price) was a lower end (toyish) Yamaha keytar (It is soooo much fun to mess around on).  Bought that for my son mostly (3 an'a half) who is always asking to play my guitar/bass, but can't grasp the idea of fret vs strum hands just yet and polytones/chords.  The Keytar is way more his speed; had to modify an old strap for him.



Anyway, Rob, keep those things comin - I'll be able to afford one of them eventually!
