The Epiphone EB-3, as most visitors to this site will know, is a reintroduction of the classic Gibson EB-3. In many ways the Epiphone is true to a 1960s EB-3 (body and neck materials, construction, pickup style and placement), although it took certain features of 1970s instruments (three-point bridge, 34" scale). Some features, however had not previously appeared on an EB-3, such as the trapezoid inlays, having 22 frets (compared to 20/21) and the varitone knob; although made to look like the Gibson original, is actually just a three-way pickup switch.
