Which model is the white one? the white one was a bb3000. it's been rerouted for bb2000 pickups and the inlays redone to look like a bb2000. it basically is a bb2000 now but the controls are in a slightly different location and the cutaways are different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...that does beg the question after @Misdeehas just reminded us how amazing the BB 3000 was, as to why you wanted it redone as a BB 2000?

And thank goodness they do otherwise folk who want to spend identical amounts on their gear would end up with identical rigs, right? And what a dull planet we would be living on... 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the horns I'd say it was Taiwanese... the Japanese had shorter horns a bit like the 1200S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
