Like everybody else in the club, I love my Gibson Thunderbird! Here's a pic of her as I received her when I bought her new about a month ago.

I'm making some cosmetic changes to her to make her more my own and I'll post up another pic when I have her done.
Beautiful Bicentennial. Gibson has some really weird choices in knob colors.


After the tip here on TB, called Hipshot and they set me up with the mini-clover keys for the ultralite tuners I had already installed. These fit much better and they are more proportionally sized to the reissue headstock. There's no overlap at all like the regular full size keys.
