{"product_id":"863597","title":"Gibson EB-DL Embassy Deluxe Bass '67 Cherry","description":"Epiphone, now a familiar sister brand to Gibson, was a historic brand that, before being acquired by CMI (Chicago Musical Instruments), Gibson's parent company, in the late 1950s, was a major rival to Gibson, particularly in the archtop guitar market. After the CMI acquisition, Epiphone began producing solid-body models, resulting in the creation of numerous attractive models beloved by guitar fans worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Epiphone EB-DL Embassy Deluxe Bass is a rare model produced in limited quantities within the Epiphone brand, which is manufactured at the Gibson factory, and has become a collector's item. Since it uses the same materials as the Gibson Thunderbird IV, its limited production numbers, even compared to the original, suggest that this is a truly valuable instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This particular instrument was shipped around 1967. It's a valuable piece that has been passed down and used by one player after another.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【body】\u003cbr\u003e The total weight is approximately 3.9 kg. The body is made of mahogany. It has a rounded double-cutaway body, typical of the Epiphone brand. The cherry color has faded moderately, and although there is some weather checking, dents, age-related deterioration of the pickguard, and tarnishing of the metal parts, it is in relatively good condition. There are signs that the bridge studs have been moved slightly forward. Additionally, the strap pin at the neck joint and the mute parts are missing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【neck】\u003cbr\u003e The neck is a set-neck mahogany, and the fingerboard is rosewood. It features the distinctive \"Bat Wing Head\" design, a signature of the Epiphone brand. There is some age-appropriate weather checking from the headstock to the back of the neck, as well as minor dents and tarnishing on the metal parts, but like the body, it remains in relatively clean condition. The tuners are fully functional, although there is some inconsistency in their winding tension. The frets have been leveled once, and there is no excessive wear, resulting in good playability. The nut width is 38.3mm. It features a neck shape that is narrow but has a substantial thickness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Electrical System]\u003cbr\u003e The controls are simple: front pickup volume, rear pickup volume, and master tone. It features two humbucking pickups, the same as those found in the Thunderbird. The control components, including the pickups, are in their original condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The mahogany body and mahogany set neck provide a rich, sustained midrange and other appealing tones. Based on the thick, punchy bass and rich midrange characteristic of Thunderbird humbuckers, the dual-pickup configuration adds a mixed sound, allowing you to bring out a wide range of characteristics, from the heavy bass of the neck position to the crisp attack of the bridge position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Non-original hard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.9kg\u003cbr\u003e Body Material: Mahogany 1 piece\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material\/Scale Length: Mahogany 3 piece\/862mm (34inch)\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard\/Fret Marker\/Radius: Rosewood\/Pearloid Dot\/254.0mm (10inch)\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width\/Fret Size (width): 38.3mm\/2.7mm\u003cbr\u003e Neck Thickness (1F\/7F\/12F): 21.3mm\/24.3mm\/26.8mm\u003cbr\u003e Pickup (Neck\/Bridge): Gibson Thunderbird pickup, Chrome Cover, 8.1kΩ\/10.0kΩ\u003cbr\u003e *The DC resistance value of the pickup is measured through the control section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43684695277681,"sku":"863597","price":5612.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/863597_01.jpg?v=1784716923","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/es\/products\/863597","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
