New to the forum, was wondering if anyone had ideas on the value of a single pickup 1967 Gibson lefty EB2 bass, red? Also have a correct Gibson case with it. john@motorsports-media.com |

They need Photos and details on the instrument and I believe they charge $50 to do the appraisal - I am sure there are others that will as well.
eBay is a good place to check to see what similar models are selling for of the same Vintage.

| | | A regular clean righty is used to be around $1200, but lately them seem to be priced around $2,000+ for single pickup version, depending on condition & color. Rarer version, EB-2 C's have been priced closer to $3000, but those are dealer prices, not what has been sold on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=270266841452
Say what you will about Gibsons, but they actually CONTINUALLY go up in value, if bought at a reasonable price.

I had someone decipher the tag, came out as a 1969 model:   
Had someone back in 1994 make me a pick guard, Pete Moreno in MI?, but I didn't specify single pick-up. He's still alive, he said he could make me another:  |
