A poor 1970's Gibson EB-3 that was crudely modified at some point. The mods included adding a P pickup, active preamp, moving the rotary switch, plugging some of the controls, etc. I ended up removing the preamp and rewiring the guitar as close to stock as I could. The rotary switch was returned back home along with adding back one of the volume controls. The tone choke was also long gone so I replaced it with one courtesy of Curtis Novak. The original 2 point bridge didn't allow enough adjustment to lower the action, so a new Hipshot 2 point Supertone bridge was installed. I will eventually group this project into one blog post, but in the meantime you can follow up here: #eb3mystery

choke
The first day back from the long weekend rolls on. Jumping head first into the butchered 1970s Gibson EB-3 mess. Doing my best to get this back as close to stock as you can while dealing with an added 3rd P pickup. I also decided to relocate the previously moved rotary switch back home and add back original controls, so some drilling out of plugs was required. A Curtis Novak choke is going in (original missing), along with Emerson Custom CTS pots. What a mess!
