These shipping figures are not complete; there were almost certainly EB-2s available in 1971 and 1972. The last time the EB-2 was included in a price list was October 1972. The EB-2 was certainly popular in the mid-sixties, outselling the EB-3 in all years between 1964-1968, and even the EB-0 in 67-68. As the influence of beat diminished and rock took over, EB-0 and EB-3 sales soared, and EB-2 sales floundered. Gibson donated 150 EB2s to the US Army in Viet Nam in February 1970, although it is unclear whether these instruments are included in these shipping figures.
