Thanks V!! I was speculating with Ken about if the Gene Bird would have a neck similar to the Studio Birds.

They are similar to flat-top Gretsch-style, but with a slight domed top. You can readily buy them on eBay in chrome or black. They are close to '60s vintage Burns of London/WEM-Watkins knobs. My '63 Burns Vista Sonic had one original knob when I got it and it was frozen to the pot-shaft so I had to destroy it to get it off. I drilled a small indicator dot and filled it with black paint on the new ones to mimic the originals.
...I just found my eBay order from 2020 and that suppler doesn't have them anymore. Will just have to search chrome dome knobs. (isn't that also in Kentucky?
)Found them - you can get gold also -

I just saw this. I have not been paying attention. The 30th? I will have to see what is going on that day already and try to shove it aside.
LOL - they have a bunch of different licks in KY.
I won’t post it for fear of being banned, but for those so inclined feel free to zoom in on a map of KY just south of Florence and very near Big Bone Lick State Park, there’s another lick there. I just scratch my head and ask, what in the heck were they thinking when they named this place.

It would be nice if you can make it, Will, there's a couple Birds here - Bring a few along, we need a group shot!
And you were gullible enough to believe them?
Not too far from Bowling Green or Mammoth Cave area.
Between Beaverlick and Big Bone, I can see why J&J's "personal" lubricant was named for Kentucky...LOL - they have a bunch of different licks in KY.
The only lick I want to go to is in Driftwood, TX. Just wear clothes you don't need again as the smoke from the pit will make you a dog's favorite sniff toy.LOL - they have a bunch of different licks in KY.

I mentioned that white '77 at dinner last night, only to be encouraged to buy it by my Hubby. Not going to happen!
Sugar Daddy. I need me one.
Meet you there. My favorite food.
Funny story I've mentioned before.
"Martin's BBQ Joint" from Nashville opened up a place here some time back. It's not my favorite here or in Nashville, but it is done right. They put too much chili power in the rub at times for me and it tastes like chili power in the rub instead of being nicely blended. Anyway, one person wrote a review and said "the food was pretty good, but we smelled like smoke when we left." My wife and I laughed when we saw that. (This kind of person likely thinks Tony Roma is a real BBQ place.) The owner replied, "Imagine that."
If I leave a place and don't smell like smoke, it wasn't a real BBQ joint. I tell people to look for smoke, smell for smoke and you must see a rather large sweaty dude doing the cooking. If those things aren't present, keep going.
So sorry. But that means it's available for Marshall!
I don’t trust them any further than I can throw a fragile package from a moving delivery truck.
News for PBass 51 replica paint, has arrived some days ago
