EE BEE ZERO
A 1970s style EBO with a few notable improvements. The original EBO had a slotted headstock and a 1 piece neck, with the truss rod adjustment at the head end. This leaves a really weak point. I have made this with a scarf joint and the truss rod adjustment at the end of the neck, with access to it via the neck pickup cavity. This creates a much stronger and reliable headstock.
