That red P is really speaking to me. I put my fingers in my ears. But I really like that a lot.
Someday I'll try a bird. It's one I've never tried. Had an EB, an Artist, never a Tbird. I'm bird curious.

As you know I'm a T-bird owner/player from way back (since '74) - you are either a T-bird person or you aren't, mostly due to its inherent design... shortcomings. But they sound like no others. The recent Epi Vintage Pro is highly recommended for an affordable facsimile of the Gen1 "reversed" T-bird IV ('63-'65) There has yet to be an accurate re-vision of the late '60s "non-reverse". Never played a NR but it probably balances a bit better.
Love this example - a '65 IV in a very rare Kerry Green ...and a '68 NR in aged Pelham Blue
I don’t have one yet, but this is the track that made me want to pick one up.

I just saw that Kerry Green bird recently - never saw one before so I had to look up the colour.

Heather Poly is basically Burgundy Mist Metallic. Bond Girl Cherie has an Epi guitar in that colour. It looks darker in this pic, mostly due to stage lighting. It's pretty much BMM by another name.

It's a distressing job... but someone's gotta do it...
I did find this in the "Please share your Burgundy Mist Metallic...." thread.
I don't know if this is a respray or if it is an accurate representation of Heather Poly, but the color looks slightly paler than Burgundy Mist.
