Epiphone EB-DL Embassy Deluxe Bass '67 Cherry

Epiphone is now well-known as a sister brand to Gibson, but before its acquisition by Gibson in the late 1950s, it was a historic brand that was active as a rival to Gibson, especially in the field of archtops. After the acquisition of Gibson, production of solid body models began in addition to archtop/hollow bodies, resulting in many attractive models loved by guitar fans around the world.

Among the Epiphone brand produced at the Gibson factory, the Epiphone "EB-DL Embassy Deluxe Bass" is known as a rare model with a particularly low production volume and has become a collector's item. This model has the same materials as the Gibson brand Thunderbird IV, so it is a very valuable piece considering the small number of originals produced.

This time, the item in stock is an individual shipped around 1967. This is a valuable piece that has been passed down from artist to artist.

【body】
The overall weight is approximately 3.9kg. The body material is mahogany, and the rounded double cutaway body is typical of the Epiphone brand. The cherry color has moderate fading, and although there are weather checks, dents, aging of the pickguard, and dullness of the metal parts, it remains in relatively good condition. There is evidence that the bridge stud was moved slightly forward. Other neck joint strap pins and mute parts are out of stock.

【neck】
The neck material is a mahogany set neck. It is characterized by the Epiphone brand's familiar nickname, "Bat Wing Head." Although there are variations in the tightness of the tuner's winding, there will be no functional problems. The frets have been adjusted once, and there is no noticeable wear and playability is good. Nut width 38.3mm. It is characterized by a neck shape that is narrow yet thick.

[Electrical system]
The controls are simple: 2 volumes, 1 tone. The control section, including the pickup, has been kept in its original condition. While it is based on a unique thick and thick bass, it also has the range that can only be expected from a 2-pickup specification.

I think this is a rare item that is always out of stock, and a valuable piece with a history. Please take advantage of this opportunity.
