I picked this baby up from the original owner a couple of years ago, right about the time covid started. What a beautiful instrument. She’s actually posted in the showcase section by the original owner. Ms Mica, would you so kind of providing the deets of this beauty.

Hi Roy,

Here's the details from the instrument file:

model name: Europa

model number: ULB6

neck: 11-piece Maple and Purpleheart
scale: 34" long
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: Pearloid (plastic) ovals
top: Flame Mapleaccent: not recorded, but 2 pinstripes
body: Mahogany
body shape: Europa
finish: Almost black
originally made for: Music Loft, NC
birthday: December 23, 1996

Looks like we did some repairs, but the order doesn't have a date (bad Mica!). We made a new truss rod cover, cleaned the bridge and tailpiece, filled a hole and replaced a missing straplock, replaced battery clip, and tested the electronics.
