Hi y'all... this little guy is filthy.... lots of dust and some mold on the back. I have some lighter fluid... don't want to polish it b/c of the checking. Sounds pretty awesome... is there also a truss rod under the epi hood? I picked up some ebony bridge pins today but the white looks nice... may invest in bone if she cleans up well...
The neck is solid, the action ain't too shabby. I need to school myself on the adjustable saddle/bridge. About to strip her strings and begin working on the little monster. Tips/trick appreciated!

67 eh? Hmmm... I thought for sure it was a 1960... I though they went over to plastic saddles after 65? Or from 65 on? Also just those glued on blidges...
This has an adjustable bridge and saddle...
I would like to get a vintage set of tuners and maybe... maybe a replacement pick guard. This is existing! More close-ups tomorrow. Thanks gents!

Hey y'all! Thanks for the responses. I need to check my settings b/c I never received any notifications! So she arrives tomorrow and I will post some photos tomorrow. Below are the ones from the GW auction site. I can't figure out the year (052947)... 1960?
So cool to hear your stories about these little cowboys. I am also curious about but width/specs for this Kalamazoo version. It looks like the pick guard is lifted. Otherwise I think its in pretty good shape. Hard to tell if this had the Elipson logo on it or not...? I understand that some were not manufactured with it...

Morning folks!
Just got me this little guy last night at a goodwill auction. I think it's in pretty shape (from photos) but I will be able to judge in a week. Always wanted a B-15 or B-25 but these little guys are just like the L0 which has been on my gas list too. I have done some interweb browsing but not a solid answer on serial numbers? Also, this guy has a super dark finish to it and I know they made a "natural" but were there any other variations cause she's got quite the tan. Any recommended upgrades? Rosewood bridge and adjustable saddle it looks like... don't know any thing about specs other than made side by side and just like Gibson L0. Not sure if tuners are original...?
Thanks all!

Thanks Jeff! Got the frets all cleaned, tuners oiled... need to figure out the truss rod adjust ment b/c it looks like the neck needs some relief but he's being a perfect gentleman!
