I live in the Raleigh area, so I check the Craigslist listings regularly. A seller in the Pittsboro/Chapel Hill area has a Walnut-finished ‘69 EB-2 for sale for $1300. Walnut is a pretty rare color for any Gibson. I’d say next to black, this is my favorite finish for a Gibby.
Here’s the link to the listing: http://raleigh.craigslist.org/msg/277032504.html
Check her out:
it is a nice color. there’s a certain irony in photographing it in the middle of a forest - especially when it’s somewhere in my old ‘hood.
this is just a dream to me! Wondering why there are no cheaper copies around of these basses. I mean: you can easily find a 300 euro/dollars Aria, Ibanez, Yamaha etc. ES 175 clone, right? Why none still reissues these beauties? Something like the above or the Fender Coronado series… I suspect there would be a long line of buyers waiting…
