Very sweet Bird!
I’ve looked at a lot of the MOD Collection stuff and drooled over a number of the Tbird renditions. For some reason I missed that one, lots of nice touches with the hard tail, pup spacing and VVTT control layout. Looks like it’s from 2021, where did you end up finding it?
The GA-20RVT and GA-35RVT. There was probably at least one more but I can't swear to that.
Can't speak for them, but Gibson does have a weekly newsletter with its latest MOD collection items. That one came out today.
Like any applied science, it all depends upon what you do. Although most think of the pharmacist as the guy standing on a podium at the back of the drug store,
there are other areas of practice. The usual cut is into retail, hospital, and industrial. There are further refinements from there. For instance, radiopharmacy (handling radioactive drugs) and TPN (total parenteral nutrition) are some hospital subspecialities, compounding (making things) is a retail subspecialty, and industrial goes in a lot of directions including drug information, QA and stability, formulations, sales, business development.
As someone said it came out today I happened to click.on the link just as it came up. (I'm not sure if there is a standard time though they seem to pop up random on Wednesday)
But why I ask.......
It couldn't have been with the original pick up spacing, and a proper 2 piece bridge?
so, it could potentially be a Gibson design?…7591s also kinda sets it apart some more..
From what I have heard and read, throughout most of the 60s, these amp brands were designed and made by the same people. IIRC, there are a couple of amps (I'd have to go look through notes) that appeared under both brand names, with either identical circuits or very minor changes. Different names and (I think) different cabs, maybe speakers. Gibson at that point was kind of floundering WRT its amp biz. Oh, wait. Not just at that point... (They had some great amps, just weren't marketing them effectively.)

Congratulations! That's really cool, please post us some pictures when it arrives!
Well, I might have to miss the July 4th Get Together, my car done got totaled, guy pulled into an intersection in front of me and then took off.
But, plus side, looks like I'll be joining the Subaru gang, so I can take bird pics in front of one, too!

Glad you're safe, Dylan!
It looks like we'll do most of the bass playing at GTG on the 3rd, should things change for you contact me or Chucky.
Subaru LOVE!

Might this one be making the journey south?

Yep, I'm all safe, the Sh!tmobile did its duty to the end! 220,000 miles from a 2007 Chevy HHR, it did its job admirably. Even after the hit, it still turned over and could limp off the street, despite the engine being pushed back and the whole front end being squished in.
Btw, that's a 3rd gen Outback, right? I'm looking at a 2005 Outback at the moment (and more generally looking at the 2005-2009 years), sub-100k, any advice as to what I should be looking for?

Glad you're OK and not totaled as well! Anyone ID him?
Unfortunately it was 2:30 am, not many folks about, and it turns out no cameras at the intersection. Good thing I only had about $3k into the car (and that was 7 years ago).

Yes, if the head gaskets haven't been replaced, you're going to have to at about 100K or thereabouts - it can be spendy, the new replacements gaskets are much better. Be careful!

Not this one, it has EYGuitars pickups in it presently and while it's a great playing bass, sound wise it needs better pickups. My '89 with Lulls and SITs is far better - Will heard the difference when he heard the '89 vs. his Flamingo - thus, his change to the Thunderbuckers he hadn't yet installed.
