FT Gene Baker B3 Wood SL

Collings

Up for possible trade is my B3 Wood SL from Gene Baker when he headed up the PBG.

This is Genes wood model so is chambered for tonal reasons so quite light for a mahogany Les Paul full thickness guitar.

SL is "straight line" and refer to the straight line of the body between the top and lower horn.

Spec wise its all top quality:

Lollar soapbar P90's
Tone Pros bridge and stop tail
CTS pots + Orange drop cap
Neck is mahogany 59 type profile and has medium jumbo frets in the rosewood board
Chambered mahogany back with a carved mahogany top
Original high quality hardcase with original paperwork.

Has a really great resonant P90 tone.

Gene told me he remembered this guitar well and it was built for the 2014 NAMM show and I've seen it in shots of the PBG booth from the show.

This is only possibly up for trade as I've decided to reduce the number of guitars I have with P90's and I am just keeping one Collings 290 which in all honesty is not as good as this B3 but it has high sentimental value to me.

I paid £1900 for it used from Coda so trade value I would say is around that and I'm looking for a Gibson R8 so some cash your way. Must be in excellent condition and able to meet up (I'm in the West Midlands but can travel)
