The
Webmaster's BB70EP
This officially is a BB70EP, but it's totally unique in every
way. The Elite Series was introduced late in 2005, and this is
one of the first ones made, and it is the first BB Elite model.
What makes the Elite different from the standard models is that it
has a quilted front and back, as well as the front and back of the
headstock. The body and headstock also have a thin
phenolic layer between
the body and the quilt - very classy.
Now
this one has a maple body, 5-piece all maple neck with "pointy"
headstock, ebony fingerboard with abalone block inlays, Hipshot
detuner, Straploks and chrome hardware. I had the older, large
Carvin logo used on the headstock, and the Bunny Brunel logo applied
to the back. It's finished in Dragonburst (sometimes called
Caribbean Burst), which is a mixture of Emerald Green and Sapphire
Blue. Electronics consist of a single HB2 pickup with a
pan pot that pans between each coil (like my XB75 below). It
also has a piezo bridge, with a blend control to blend it with the
HB2.
