Up for sale, a 1964 Gibson EB-0 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Introduced in 1959 in response to declining sales of the EB-1, the EB-0 originally came with a Les Paul Junior style body, quickly superseded by the SG style body in 1961, boasting a short 30 1/2“ scale length.
Lightweight at 6lbs 11oz, this EB-0 features solid Honduran mahogany construction and a Brazilian rosewood fretboard. The famous “Mudbucker” pickup delivers pure, fat low-end thump and wooly richness, sitting perfectly in a mix, deftly below the midrange frequencies of guitar and keys, a perfect complement to the inherent smoothness of the short scale design. This EB-0 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings and easy-playing action.

The gloss Cherry nitro lacquer finish is 100% original with no touch-up or overspray, exhibiting buckle rash across the back, a handful of minor dings along the body perimeter, and a few finish scratches on top.
