Some of these pickups have white coils and get mistaken for Dirty Fingers, but they are medium-output alnico pickups, whereas Dirty Fingers are high-output ceramic pickups.

Production is limited but all feature period-correct hardware, two Gibson reproduction PAF humbucking pickups, and subtly figured "antiquity burst" maple tops.

This variety sold very poorly and remains fairly obscure. The EB-0 generally came with one pickup, a large humbucker placed up close to the neck.
