Looks like a lot of thought went into the bridge, and those tuners!. I would love to hear it though.Is that one bolt holding the neck on or a strap holder?

Very early EB-0s were based upon the Les Paul double cut body shape. Only made in small numbers from 1959-61 according to my sources.

Yes, the bridge is a little lacking in finesse (and adjustability). The tuners are banjo style tuners, also used on the EB-1 (Gibson's violin bass) and guitars such as the Firebird. It is a set neck and that is indeed a strap button.

That's rare. Only ever seen one before, at that place down in Farnham. It used to belong to the guy out of "The Guess Who" and was used on 'American Woman". With provenance, it was about £1600, but that's 5 years ago.

Another one that slipped through the net :)
