ALL orig. except for an endpin jack, w/ simple contact P/U under the top...has a wonderful fat, clear "Authentic" sound...it is one of the best recording guitars, I've ever heard...Condenser Mic's LOVE this guitar!....Top is a gorgeous dark amber color...has normal Player's wear, nicks, dings, etc..but is CLEAN, and very nice...neck angle is great...see detail photo, Just how high that adjustable saddle is...a GOOD one!...tuner buttons are ambered with age, and work well...just an exceptional example, of this Iconic guitar, for the same price, as a boring new reissue...comes with VERY nice Orig. H/C, w/ yellow lining, and Brass "Gibson" badge

has many appointments, unique to this example. David Webber, is an internationally recognised Luthier, from Vancouver BC ( like Michael Dunn ) Webber has been one of my favorite luthiers, for many years...he makes consistently exceptional guitars..and when I heard he made a "D Hole" Gypsy Jazz Guitar, I went NUTS...had to have it...lol..and it is SUPERB...Loud, verry "Sassy" and responsive, without being too "shrill" or "Harsh" like so many of these are, by nature...it has Walnut back and sides, that is so straight grained, it looks like rosewood, but isn't...has a hand carved neck...look at how thick, the headstock is...tailpiece, tuners, headstock veneer, are unique, to this example...it is FEATHER lightweight, ferociously responsive...a complete blast to play..and in Mint condition...Here's what David Webber told the owner of this guitar, back in c 09, that bought it from Phil's guitars...I'll blot out his name, since he doesn't know I am doing this...

"Hi *****,
Nice to hear from you and your guitar. Good to hear you are enjoying the instrument. I've only built a few Macs and I've been a bit surprised at how nice they sound. I just finished another walnut one the other day and it made me sorry to send it away as it was so fun to play. I'm using Savarez Argentine strings on them now, for a more authentic sound and feel. Worth a try if you haven't already. Yours is my very first Maccaferri, by the way, and my 730th guitar. Feel free to visit if you ever end up in the Vancouver area.
Thanks, David Webber"

This specific example, was the one photographed for Webber's Catalog...he has since discontinued his "Gypsy Jazz" guitars...all were good...some were great..and this example, was the VERY BEST one...Mint, all orig., with nice quality orig. Hard case...I'll be sorry to see it go.

I don't know the history of this guitar, but can list the obvious changes / issues..I THINK it was rebound, many years ago, but looks original.it is hard to tell...the original weak "NY Epi." era P/U, has been replaced with a correct later type "Minihumbucker" P/U, in an old orig Epi P/U mounting bezel..sounds great, and looks stock, but isn't..Tailpiece changed, but looks like the old Epi Bale ( crosspiece on the tailpiece) looks original..has Kluson replacement tuners, w/ butterbean buttons..so..it has a mix of orig and replacement parts, but looks wonderful and plays / sounds great..a perfect gigging guitar, for way less $$$..this is being listed for $1000 less, than a stock one...get a 57 year old blonde old classic, for the price of a boring new import...comes with a c late 60's / early 70's Gibson Hard case, that fits it well...a very nice guitar!..

See thru Black color, with a "Ten" top...GORGEOUS curly maple..just wonderful "3D" bands of curl everywhere..These were spec'd as coming with the "Wide / Fat" neck, but feels like a bigger "C" neck, to me...it is certainly not the flat / thin neck...the only changes, are orig Kluson tuners, replaced with Sperzal locking tuners ( easy to put back stock, if you wanted to ) And now has a calibrated pair of custom made Seymour Duncan PAF P/U's, with aged nickel covers..P/U's are signed by Seymour, with "N" and "B" tags, on the backs...sound AMAZING, too...This guitar was used very seriously, in performance, and has some top dings, that would be easy to "touch up" ( see close up photos of the top ) and some scuffs..but is a clean guitar, that is quite beautiful...Doesn't have the "Bird" inlays, so you don't have to feed it...has nicely figured pearl dots...These "Pre-lawsuit" models, are rare, and will go way up in value...these bring an average of $2400-$2600 w/ a "Ten" top, but because of some dings, etc, we will ask much less for it...this is the perfect example to actually take out to gigs, and not worry about, that plays and sounds exceptional...    Read less...

It has the old style neck / body joint, that is "stepped", not smooth, like later...It has the old style 17 degree headstock pitch, not the later shallower pitch...Has the old Non-adjustable bridge, that everyone wants..still very Red..not faded..NO cracks, or repairs...has a "Wear spot" next to the P/U, from the thumb, playing it, but is a clean example...the little wood finger rest on the 'guard is missing..Pickguard has done some shrinking, and cracked at some mounting screw areas ( very common ) but is stable, and flat..ALL original parts...nice action, and playability...has a HUGE sound !...very lightweight...just a very nice example, of an EB-0 Bass..it's 46 years old now..and the earlier EB-0's are increasing in value quickly, since they are considered undervalued, in todays market..we'll put it out there for $400 less, than current FMV...(will carefully pack, if shipped, in a bigger box..it would be fine)    Read less...

ordered with one HB-1 Humbucking P/U, one vol., and one tone...has beautifull figured curly maple sides and back..it's turned a gorgeous dark amber color..has a few lacquer checks, on the top, but this sucker is CLEAN, and stock...for my needs, this is a perfect jazz guitar, because it is a 17" wide body, with a 24 3/4" scale neck (like an ES-175) and has less string tension...much easier on the fingers, to play, less string tension means you can put a heavier gauge od strings, for better sound, and still be easy to get around on...will sell this very cool..very rare guitar, for the same price as the common two P/U version...but you'll get a one-off amazing guitar, that will be worth major $$ some day, based on its rarity alone...just happens to play/sound wonderful, also...    Read less...
