I bought this body for $350 with no neck, and put a 1997 G&L L-2000 neck on it. 1997 is part of the ''three bolt micro-tilt" family.
The neck is 1 3/4" nut width, and has a beautifully figured rosewood board. Wide, but shallow, it plays out beautifully.
I scored the neck used on ebay for $350, and paid an additional $100 for a set of Schaller tuners. Schaller was the stock supplier for G&L. |
First-generation '83 SB-2 body with '97 USA neck makes a unique "SB-2000." Perhaps the world's only.
Color is fiesta red (nitro). Finish is in good shape, except at a certain angle a sticker outline is visible on the front by the upper horn. There are a few small body chips near the neck pocket.
Let’s not forget the sweet mother-of-pearl fretboard dots.
Strung with new GHS Boomers (45-100). Weight is approx. 9.5 lbs. Ships in a budget Levy’s gigbag. $650.
Paypal please, price includes shipping in continental US only. No trades. Thank you!
