2017 Travis Bean Deigns Electrical Guitar Company TB500 Jerry Garcia White
Description
Here's a 2017 Travis Bean Designs (Electrical Guitar Company) TB500. This was a limited edition guitar released at NAMM, that paid homage to Jerry Garcia's Travis Bean TB500.
Crafted by Kevin Burkett of Travis Bean Designs and Electrical Guitar Company in tandem with Marc McElwee (who was behind the original Travis Bean designs of the ‘70s), this reissue is a pinpoint recreation of the TB500s Jerry played back in the day.
In addition to the flagship features like cast resin single coil pickups and the legendary aluminum neck, the TB500 sports the revolutionary onboard effects loop (OLEB). The first of Jerry’s guitars to incorporate an OLEB, the TB500 was the starting point for what became a fixture on all of his future models. Here's the spec's!
