Vintage Restoration - Gibson EB3

Here is an example of a Gibson EB3 that I refinished for Tony Senatore. The bass was in quite a sorry state. The wood was in poor condition and Tony wanted a Gibson style metallic gold finish.

Original State of the bass. Notice many holes, dings and dents and the lovely "motor oil" style finish applied by the prior owner..	All hardware removed and ready for stripping	After many hours or wood preparation, the body was primed.	Finished in Gibson "gold top" gold, and clear coated with nitrocellulose lacquer.	All hardware and electronics installed including new pots, knobs, switch, tuners and pickguard. Notice the new Gibson logo on the headstock.	Another look!
