Well... we're all musicians here... so why not a song?

On the first day of Christmas TBird gave to me a green Jackson 93
On the second day of Christmas TBird gave to me a red Fenderbird, and a green Jackson 93
On the third day of Christmas TBird gave to me a rare Greco II, a red Fenderbird, and green Jackson 93
On the fourth day of Christmas TBird gave to me the first Lull T4, a rare Greco II, a red Fenderbird, and a green Jackson 93
On the fifth day of Christmas TBird gave to me a Purrrrrple Gib-by, the first Lull T4, a rare Greco II, a red Fenderbird, and a green Jackson 93

Feel free to add your own verses

Who says you need to use all of them? As many birds as you've got, you could probably save a few for the Sundays in Lent... or the Pagan sabbats... or the nights of Hanukkah... or whatever?

The twelve days of xmas begins on xmas day...
However I'd prefer a dedicated, secular thunderbird holiday, the first of which took place in 1963. Apparently some legal envoy from 7ender heard the thunder from across the desert, were in fear, and sent a legal team out to pressure the creators to change the design.

Which resulted in the Non Reverse - Looks more 7ender than Gibson.
Here's a happy #7

I am guessing the screw holes are stripped out. I would use the old tooth pick and glue remedy. Put a little glue (tite bond) on the tooth pick put it in the hole, snap it off and screw your pups back down. You should be all set.

how about a little "mojo" for a Friday night:



My '79 Thunderbird's headstock with Gotoh Resolite Tuners (no more neck dive!). Amazingly this one's neck seems to be unbroken despite definitely taking a few shots!
