Here's a question for you T-bird experts...

When I got my used Epi, the 'bird logo was a little smudged and my OCD doesn't like it. Is there any way to completely remove the logo without damaging the pickguard? Thanks!

IIRC that's an ink stamp logo, you might try something very mild to start like 70% rubbing alcohol carefully on a cotton pad around the smudge. It's not going to reacte with the plastic, it may remove the ink.

hello everyone, first post on here. Tonnes of beautiful t-birds around these posts, I'm very jealous!

I purchased an Epiphone Tbird Pro 4 1 year and 2 days ago. I have come to the sad realization that my job and wife keep me from practicing as much as I would like and I have joined this site as a kick in the ass to keep me motivated.

I sorely need to be educated in the technical terms of playing, I have a basic understanding. But anything I have learned is on my own and most likely incorrect! I have been working on reading tabs and familiarizing myself with how they are set up, but again, self taught and most likely full of errors.

I'm very interested in fixing up a broken bass. I get into things way more when I can tear them apart and understand them fully. So if anyone knows of anything that is in need of some tlc, shoot me a message.

I'll shut up now! Looking forward to picking all of your brains!!

And if that doesn't, um, cut it, try lighter fluid.

or sanding it of with wet sandpaper first 1500 grid than 2000 grid
and finer and finer until it's nice and shiny.

but this is if rubbing alcohol dos not work.
(that was also my first idea)

just be carefull.

 

[epirokker]

Thanks guys! I'll try the rubbing alcohol tonight, and buy some sand paper if that doesn't work

So glad there's a thread dedicated to Thunderbird enthusiasts!

The 1500-2000 grit wet automotive quality sandpaper is a really good idea, I use it often in my scale model making - it will not hurt that PG at all. Get the parer and PG wet and buff lightly, awesome results!

57 FORD TBIRD!!! I think the sexiest car out there! Someday..someday it will be mine.

I just got the new samples and they look great! Special design 60's style anchors and inserts, tail piece and of course the Badbird itself. Quantities are limited. Intonation without modification for your vintage Thunderbird. Also great for your Fenderbird and custom Tbird builds.
