Description

Introduced in 1958, the EB-2 was the bass guitar equivalent of the popular Gibson ES-335. It featured a 335-style semi-hollow body, a short 30.5" scale neck and one large "Sidewinder" humbucking pickup in the neck position. The electronics consisted of a single volume and tone knob.

This is a first year of production model EB-2 with a black EB bass singlecoil pickup before they switched to humbuckers. The only replaced part is a knob and the guitar has limited repairs to some cracks and damage. 1958 EB-2s are a great counterpart to the ES-335. Offering the semi hollow body along with a 30 1/2" scale length that keeps the bass comfortable and easy to play. Except for a few crack repairs and a bit of overspray on the neck, this bass in in great condition.
