That finish is just nuts!!!! As I said before, I'm not sure anyone else on here could pull that off!

Anyway, I'm in with my Lull T4!

Though I don't really like finishes that don't show any grain through the laquer, this scheme would kick ass for Glamrock

Balance

Hey TBird, since you're the one with the massive flock of birds is there any of them that balance better than others?

Not a bad question really, but they're surprisingly similar overall, the Lull is the best of them and because of it's enormous headstock and light body the Burny is the worst - but because it's light I find it very easy to handle.
I think where my right hand rests (on the bridge) and the strap length have a lot to do with it - that and being primarily a pick player.


At Seattle's Funhouse with my Orville Thunderbird.

Okay, I doubt we'll start a whole new thread called "T-Birds behind Subaru Outbacks".However, I finally got around to taking a picture of my Lull T-4 behind my new Outback! They even match!

Hey man, that shot is all tribute to you as our fearless leader!!! It is pretty sunny today, so it was a quick snap and looked ok!

Not to get off topic, but I am absolutely loving my 2013 Outback! What a great car! It is a great gear hauler with the seat back protectors installed. I'm really enjoying it!
