This Beautiful B3 Chop is in excellent shape! Technician (Jeff Simpson) meticulously designed everything and customized it down to the sidewise handle on the exterior for putting it into the loading case (do this with a friend- It's heavy!) I put 2008 as the year, for it was rebuilt and painted Black and that was the year that I bought it. Everything was Cleaned, lubed and aligned. All the motors and tone wheels, felt, all new tubes and Preamps, everything. The trek is so convenient I love the extra punch for percussion or volume and eq. So additive. It is absolutely beautiful inside and out. It has the authentic Hammond sound and feel with the convenience of getting it through doorways and stairwells. I hope this baby finds the right home/gig to the right person/studio who really appreciates what the best sounds and feels like. The case makes it easy to roll around when not using it and storing vertically.
