Only 2 bidders on that one but they went the distance. Is that the record for an ObG as far as anyone remembers?

GammyBird · 10-28-2011, 09:09 AM

It's the most I've seen one sell for...yet.

FEB...pretty book matched top, wonder if it was a solid top?

mono · 10-28-2011, 09:29 AM

Jeeeesus. Never seen one go that high. It's probably solid then

GammyBird · 10-28-2011, 09:31 AM

I'm guessing that somebody is hoping that it is...

TheWilly17 · 10-28-2011, 09:37 AM

Looks like a refinish to me as there is bleeding in the cutaway and I've never seen that colour on an Orville before....

Yup, looks like a refinish...check out the iffy sanding/filling done on the bottom right hand picture.

It's a 57B....that's about the going rate on those these days. Sure is sweet though isn't it? I wish these had a fatter neck.

I guess for a 57B in that condition and colour with case probably isn't that bad a deal. Bit hard to see if it's an ebony neck which I guess it should be for a 57B. Gotta admit I'm a sucker for those wine red 57's one day maybe.

Fatter neck !!!! Jeez how fat do you want them

I've a black 57B and the neck's pretty similar to my Gibson 2001 standard that has the 50's style neck.

mono · 10-31-2011, 10:50 AM

Doesn't look like ebony to me.
Can see the nibs, though

Cool, I have only had one Orville/ObG with a fatter neck, that's the Special. The rest have been 60's slimmer profiles.

The 57B's are supposed to have an ebony fretboard...so saith the catalogue. For what's worth

slapshot · 10-31-2011, 11:25 AM

.98" thick would be great
