Title: Zebrawood Distillate on Reverb
Post by: edwardofhuncote on July 08, 2018, 10:19:58 AM

Love the simplicity of these single pickup Distillates with the front-mounted control plate. This is about as clean as these ever show up. It's in Japan, which is probably where its been all along. Well cared-for.

I love those too.  If I had the cash on hand, I'd pull the trigger on that one based on condition and availability.

Way overpriced for me.

Price dropped to $2495 on this one.

*the more I look at this one... it's either been in a case since new or been meticulously refinished to exactly replicate that early 80's satiny look. (which seems rather unlikely) The maple hasn't aged at all. The brass parts are untarnished, save for the tiniest bit on the bridge. It almost looks like a new bass.
