Here’s one you don’t see every day, or ever, really. That’s because it sadly never existed in the Gibson model lineup. What we have here is a former 1961 Gibson EB-0 electric bass guitar that we found broken, abused, and stripped of all its parts. We looked at this husk and saw something in it. We gave it a second lease on life by converting it into a 6-string baritone guitar. An abandoned P-90 from a 1957 Les Paul Junior found its way into the bridge position of this beast. It is placed in the same proportional location as a shorter scale Junior, and as a result, it pumps out this frighteningly massive tone that is dangerous to children and small animals, but utterly exhilarating to guitar tone hounds. Just unbelievable, really.

Pictured above, the amp it’s leaning against is just (well almost) as rare. It is a late 1950s Danelectro Twin Fifteen Model amp. Ever seen another one, let alone this clean? It still has its original RCA “blackplate” 6L6 power tubes, the cream of the crop of that tube type. This amp uses four of them, in a strange and beautiful design where each pair of power tubes feeds its own, separate output transformer and separate 15” Jensen speaker. Two amps for the price of one! This thing is a deep, raw, positively vintage sounding Blues machine. It also looks so cool, we think. Do you have a vintage Marshall or Gibson you are interested in selling? Click here!
