Rick 4005 WB or no WB

Post by moultrup »

what does the WB stand for. I have noticed that 4005s w the top rounded off do not carry this designation vs the 4005s w the squared edges top and bottom do.
can anyone tell me. thanks

"WB" is the shortened version of "WBBS" which designated "White Binding, Both Sides." :)
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

So it's actually gotten to the point where our acronyms need to be shortened. :roll:

Well, you do know that "acronym" is itself an acronym for Alphabetically Concatenated Rendering Of Names Yielding Meaning...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Technically, WBBS and WB are not acronyms, they are abbreviations...
