Epiphone EB-3 Ebony Bass Guitar

In the early 1960s, the Kalamazoo factory, home to both Epiphone and Gibson instruments, stopped production of the Les Paul guitar and developed the "SG" design instead. As often happens, changes in guitar design influenced bass design. With the Les Paul temporarily out of the picture, the SG took over. And during that golden era, the classic SG bass was the historic factory's only electric bass offering.

But the EB “SG” bass was by no means a cast-off. It quickly became one of the most attractive and distinctive basses in rock and players like Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones, Cream’s Jack Bruce, and The Who’s John Entwistle made rock history on SG-style basses. Now, Epiphone presents the EB-3, a stunning recreation of the vintage marvel with all the tone and feel of the original without the vintage price tag and vintage problems.
