Gibson EB-0

Gibson EB-0

The Gibson EB-0 is a bass guitar by Gibson that was introduced in 1959. It was a short-scale 30½" scale model instead of the regular 34 inches. It was a solid body bass, and was the first Les Paul Junior styling, but later became SG like. It had a mahogany body and neck, a banjo type tuner, and a large black pickguard made of non-laminated plastic covering the lower half of the body. It came only in cherry red. The body was a double cutway with a width of 13", a length of 16½", and a thickness of 1¾". The neck was one-piece mahogany with an adjustable truss rod; width, 1.723" (nut), 2.112" (12th fret), and 0.997" (12th fret). It joined the body at the 17th fret. The fingerboard was made of unbound rosewood; there were 20 frets, with inlaid dots at frets 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, and 19.

The original EB-0 stayed in production from 1959 to 1961. About 500 were made, but in 1961 the body changed rather dramatically. It became more like the SG model, but retained the name.
