Gibson's new non reverse thunderbirds can look cool too.
 

I'm almost finished with this one....it really has that 60's vibe now....I just love nickel hardware on these.Attachment 323156

Nice! What pick ups did you use?

Here's what it looked like before I got my hands on it.Attachment 323158

I used the factory pickups but stripped off the black plastic covers and replaced them with the nickel.

Beautifully done, looks awesome!

Nice! The nickel looks great.

I'll take some more pics when I finish it up....I've just got to switch out some black screws for nickel and a couple other things.

Nice!

Looks great!!

These's are the coolest bass's. Beautiful job. Funny, i just recently stripped my epi reverse tbird of all the black hardware and went chrome. I have ivory emg's in it but wished it had the chrome/nickel pups like yours. I just picked up a bridge cover on ebay for it too.

Great job!
 

Getting the 2 piece bridge tailpiece,and chrome parts went a long way in bringing it back to a classic original look. And reversing the output jack and 3rd pot was an easy fix that corrected what i thought was one of the most bizarre looking arrangements on the new bass. What were they thinking? Now you're making me want to get one,so i will ask,how are the necks and the weight on these?

It sure has a great classic look to it with chrome hardware -Bravo! Great work :)

Thanks!....does that mean I get a number now? : )

Thanks!....necks a bit chunky but still feels great...not sure of the weight yet.

Oh hell yeah!

I'll catch the list up later today ;)

Beautiful!!!

Sweet

Lookin' good, OP - I could see one of those possibly in my future...

Looks good to me! I like the look of the NR Tbirds!

Wish Gibson would just make them look that way from the get go, and offer single pickup models.
