EpiEric Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yup, looks like a Travis Bean TB1000 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexygibson Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Doesn't that headstock look like a Danelectro ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianh Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 It's a TB-1000S (Standard) which was the dot inlay version of the TB-1000A (Artist) which had block inlays. '09 price guide says $3,000 in low/ excellent condition, $3,700 in high. That one looks to be in fairly good, original shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermionik Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Played one way back - real nice player but never got used to the cold feel of the neck. Came within a hairbreadth of buying it off the guy - but couldn't raise the cash. Here's some necks in the factory..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entertained the idea to buy it as an investment. But I don't invest in things I don't like. I liked the neck(allthough the "cool grip" is a odd sensation) but it was way too heavy for comfort.

flyingfrets Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Yup...Travis Bean. I never actually played one, but I'd heard a lot of good things about them (only complaint being the cold feel of the neck). Only player of note that I recall playing one was Jerry Garcia (mid to late 70s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
