Ooh! A white Bird
Gaolee

OK, that was funny. It's also something PillO might do.
What bridge is on the Bird to the right?
No fair throwing in all that gratuitous Peavey swag!
Some cheap unknown bridge and tailpiece set from ebay.
It is highly modified from what it originally was. Both were too wide to fit the center block and just didn't look good anyway.
I like the way the tail piece came out, but the bridge part I still don't love. It works well but I just don't love the way it looks. It has locking intonation and height adjustment so once you set it you lock lock it down and there's no movement.
That's Non-Backwards to the layperson
Love the white cabs. Calls to mind Skynyrd's white Peaveys. Those Bird's ain't bad either!
So it's basically a non-backwards reverse. Or do I have that backwards?
Yeah they came out good. I'm very happy with them. The 370 head is now covered in white also to match.
Made those two cabs from fiberglass/foam sandwich with neo speakers. Came out to 20 lbs each.
Thanks for the info, personally, i love that bridge!

I can't find the post but you have a headstock detail I would like to steal from you.
I am doing a full paint on my 7ireBoid, with a reverse strat headstock.
I am looking for a little detail like the peripheral routing on a reverse bodied bird headstock.
IIRC you were scraping down the edge of the painted wood to expose the natural wood underneath?

You forgot rate of bloodshed.
hey, round these here parts I’m known as the guy with the javelin and the reverse firebird bass…..
