I still have ours in Harvest Gold. A wedding gift and I've been married for 40 years. Scares the out of little kids.

We're talking the knife not the 40 marriage, right?

I know, in very bad taste. I'll say a few rosaries.

That's @Gaolee's van.

Boy howdy, 10,000 pages of Thunderbird!

2000 of Thunderbird, 2000 of watermelons, 6000 of cars.

I blame Gibson's Quality Control...

Ah yes, the craftsmanship is evident.

Either that or Fender decided to leverage Gibsons “detachable headstock feature” so it’s users could travel with a more compact instrument.

Consider upgrading...

Seriously?

John Hall should sue

I’ve assumed it was the Ric that he was using at the time. It was stolen during tour after Argus was recorded leading him to “borrow” a beat up Thunderbird from Overend. That is what he used on most of the Lives Dates tracks.

Well, I guess if they used a different cab (maybe that folded horn Orange he had on stage at that time) and had altogether more dark and midrangey overdriven amp tone compared to "Pilgrimage"...I guess I had to hear some isolated tracks to convince myself that it's really a Ric. Or if he had the cap bypassed on his 4001? Did many know about that back then?

And that T-Bird II bothers me also. Gotta dig some more pics.

Nice job. It doesn't seem to be quite up to your usual impeccable workmanship though.

Take a print... I wish I were on page 10000 baby!

Speaking of chewed up headstocks.

I got this in a package deal of old parts and a Fender USA Prodigy guitar.
