Good Lord!
That looks so fantastic in that color!
I wish I could afford that, what a bass!

Hard to know if it was a true lefty or a lefty conversion with the refinish going on.
Re: Unicorn Alert 1968 Gibson EB-2D
Looks like there are fret markers on the under side of the neck (right-handed) along with on top (left-handed).
EDITED: Never mind, I found another period Gibson with the same.

Of course this shows up right after Monsterman got done with his semi-hollow body conversion after waiting to find a lefty 
That's just how it goes.

The orange label is on the proper side for a lefty.

Re: Unicorn Alert 1968 Gibson EB-2D
I had a factory lefty'66 Guild Starfire that had dots on both sides of the neck; I'm not surprised a Gibson from that era has the same thing.

Many of my early 70s Gibson Les Pauls have the dots on both sides of the neck binding, seems correct.

Re: Unicorn Alert 1968 Gibson EB-2D
What is the neck profile like on these? Thin and narrow, like a late 60s EB-O? Or fat like the last re-issues of these and the re-issued Les Paul basses?

My '69 EB-2 has a narrow neck, very comfy.
