Incredible!!
Yeah, I agree. Really love that turquoise gold rock thing.
How is a finish like that even done?

Picked up this Goth T bird for 80 bucks because the bridge needed a little tlc. Since I was fixing the bridge anyway, decided to do an entire overhaul. Stripped the paint and polished and waxed the body. While I was at it took the frets out and inlaid some nice flamed maple. This is my first Thunderbird, so the neck dive was a little annoying at first, but I'm used to it now. I haven't decided on pups yet, but the stock ones sound pretty good fretless for now. This thing has a mellow, warm sound. Love it.

The Gear Fairy paid me a visit! Not only do I have a new primary instrument, but EABs turned out to be cheap enough that I snagged one for noodling around the living room.
...and there was a big price drop on Genz Benz stuff recently, so I gave the Gear Fairy a hernia:

MIM Jazz V Deluxe with Barts. Odd bridge, too. Bought it used set up like this. Sounds great with flats!
Decided to take lessons at this late stage in mid 60's. Had recently bought the Godin SD4, then the Ibanez 1005 to begin lessons, then bought the Godin SD5 on eBay as I love the feel of the Godin SD4 and the passive pickups, so I made the plunge. I love them all!
My Jackson JS3 Kelly Bird IV in Transparent Blue Burst. It may not be as nice as some of other ones in here, but it gets the job done. 
Got it running through a Rumble 150 combo.
