If you are trying more than a couple of guitars, by all means play on!

While it is nearly impossible to exactly pinpoint the manufacturer of this bass, it is clearly an early product of Matsumoku, Kawai and the Teisco guitar factories as it has recognizable parts from each of those plants. It is well known that Matsumoku kept very poor records on the export models...

Your best bet to find a EA-250 Bass would be Craigslist or eBay. They are a great sounding guitar. Keep and eye out for binding issue around the neck area, you will also have to do some doctoring with shimming of the neck and maybe even making a new wooden bridge support and losing the adjuster...

I just snagged one of these up, sweet, sweet, sweet, thats all I can say.

Just snagged this vintage rarity tonight, 2000 Yamaha SBV

Yeah I am kind of torn on what to do with it at this point. I sanded the body flat yesterday without going through the clear coat and it removed so many of the dings. I got the stain to match pretty well, a lot better then someone else had and some clear on it last night. This is just to test...

So I picked this up the other day along with another one and this one has an issue (Pictures), someone went at it with the jack and dented it big time. Not to mention it crack and flaked off the finish (Poly?) to the point of no return. It is a tinted finish, I popped a piece up to check it out...

1983 EA-260 Epiphone & 1980 Vantage VS

Ordered it, got it, it fit like a glove. Thank you soooo much!

Cool thanks for the additional info, I am still waiting on the new wiring harness. With any luck that will cure what ales it. Let me know if the case fits, I am in need of one myself.

Found a new knob for it locally for $20.

A nickel thickness of a shim, making a new platform and file the saddles to accommodate the strings (They were notched about for guitar not a bass) so this baby would have a much better action. It was about 5/8" of the fret board before I did all this. How could they let these go like that? It...

I need some assistance here folk's. I just bought a 1983 Epiphone EA 260 and the wiring has some issues, I just ordered some new harnesses and I am looking for the proper style Ball Bat Steel Tipped Switch. on/on/on configuration, switch tip must be a one piece style steel and long ( 3/4" ) it...

Made a new bridge pedestal today for it and am getting ready to tweak the saddles. The groves are way to narrow.
