Re: Earthwood Pics

Thats not far from the truth they were made from 1972 to 1974, and stopping and starting before ending in 1985 It’s hard to find information on these basses on the web do to the scaresness. George Fullerton and Leo Fender designes were modeled after he Mexican “Guitarron” from the 1960’s. The Earthwood is the original patriarch of the acoustic bass guitar, now known as the ABG’s. This is the standard-version body, which is 24 ½ “long, 18 ¼ “wide and 6 5/8” deep. While it’s hard to imagine a bass much bigger than this, the deluxe model is nearly 2” deeper. The Earthwood is very well made, with a number of distinctive touches. First of all, that big “E” on the headstock is hard to miss! The walnut sides and back are beautiful, and the dark wood binding on the top and bottom of the sides are very subtle and well executed. The 34”-scale maple neck has an adjustable tilt accessed from the back
