1997 Epiphone EBM-5
Description
Summary: The EBM is the bass version of the 1990's Epiphone EM guitars. Over the span of its production, the EBM saw very few changes, but the most notable was the headstock configuration. Early models had a reverse headstock with 5-in a row tuners. Throughout the decade, the EBM's headstock saw changes that included a non-reverse headstock, 3x2 tuner configuration and truss rod cover changes. This EBM-5 was built in 1997. It’s in great shape and plays very well up and down the neck.
Body: Maple with a gloss Sunburst finish.
Neck: Maple with a Rosewood fingerboard, 34” scale length, 1.75” nut width, 24 frets, white dot inlays.
Pickups/Hardware: Active Split coil pickup (neck position) & Active Single coil (bridge position), gold closed gear tuning keys, top loading bridge.
Cosmetics: This bass is in good shape. It has light surface scratches on the body and a bit of buckle rash on the back of the body. The back of the neck is in great shape with just a few small indentations near the first fret. The frets are in great shape as well. The hardware has started to slightly tarnish.
Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has inspected, setup, and restrung this instrument with a new set of strings. The neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functional, and the action has been setup low and comfortable. The frets are in great shape with no major grooves or divots from use and it plays beautifully up and down the fretboard with no dead spots or choking out.
