1967 Gibson EBO Bass “Restomod” Part 1

After years of no repair work it has become obvious that doing some repairs was something that we needed to start doing again. The first project will be this 1967 Gibson EBO bass that has lots of standard 1970’s era “upgrades”. At some point the original Gibson bridge was replaced with a Leo Quan Bad Ass and the original pickup was replaced with a DiMarzio unit. Another DiMarzio P-Bass pickup was added along with lots of new controls including micro-switches a-la BC Rich. Fortunately, the case wasn’t lined with thick orange shag carpeting. In the first video I’ll show you what it looked like when I got it and before I start to work on it.

Repair work is a tricky business and getting good at it should never be done with a customer’s property. Further, and to that end, restorations and modifications should always be done with apprehension as some guitars will increase in value if left alone or go down in value if altered.
