Go to one game. Live is much better than on TV. We went to the Lightning/Senators game Tuesday night. Exciting and a bit frustrating 'til mid 3rd period when our guys got offa their collective @$$.

An early Firebird VII in red with gold hardware.
A close second would be a greenburst 4 pickup guitar Lafayette sold circa 1967. Same concept as one Jio posted, though I think the body shape was a bit different.

There is more violence in one American football play than an entire(real)hockey game. I've never seen "Slapshot" 'cos I know it's full of exaggerations.
Bingo!I see your dilemma. You would make yourself and everyone here really happy if you built about 10-15 (for starters) with various finishes. Problem solved.Just a thought.
I just need about $10,000 in spare pocket change to make that happen. Looking under the couch cushions now…I assume that’s one of those color shift finishes, if so I’d have to see it in action to decide.
Unfortunately I don’t know anyone that has used them. I just figured one body finish wouldn’t set me back much and might give me a good feel for how they are to do business with.
Warwick has some very cool chrome finishes. I’ve often wondered how durable that finish would be.
Wouldn’t that be a wonderful world
I owned a 'burst' NR Firebird for a while(I had dreams of putting together an all NRBird band). Wish I'd kept it.Frank has two Epi Firebirds, Burst and Olive green, both are super nice - I was actually playing the Burst (badly) today.
Happy Thursday!
BTW, my "guitar playing" can best be described as "I gots E and A and I'm workin' on D".

I never cared for hockey until I went to a game a friend was playing in (local league in Atlanta years ago). It was a blast.
A) I haven't seen them being available. (2) If they have a 'molded' insert, I'd hafta do too much "surgery".
There are two sports viewing experiences everyone should try at least once. Attend live professional Hockey match, and attend a live College Basketball game. Both are high energy crowd involvement experiences.

I only attended one "Sharks" game in San Jose in the '90s. When Neil Young lived on the Peninsula he used to attend their games. A bit less violent than the movie portrayed. Just can't get over a "sport" where the "referee" just stands there watching two alpha-males slam each other into the walls and beat on each other (and not in a boxing ring) to the delight of the fans. I always thought Hockey was different than WWwhatever/All Star Wrestling...
Nothing against Canadians or Americans who partake - I've heard Hockey is not like this in Russia - more about skill than violence. But that was told to me by a friend from Moscow. I like skill/competitiveness in sports - I'm just not big on violence and if it's "playful"/hightened for the audience - I outgrew theatrical "wrestling" as as a kid. Oh, also outgrew "football"... but that's just me.
Enjoy what you enjoy.

This sounds too "mature" perhaps but my dream guitar is the one I own:
A bottom of the line 1981 Ibanez Blazer BL50MH. The neck is just perfect and the two humbuckers are quite versatile even though there's no coil switches. Out-of-phase switch is handy too.
I bought it as a tool to compose music (sounds pretentious...) and it has fulfilled that role perfectly and I think I have progressed with my guitar playing a bit too along the way.
That said, I'd like to have another, preferably the one with 3 Super 6 pickups and a fancy color. Such as this:

looks like it plays beautiful (even if it doesn’t)….nice work, P sounding?..
Thanks!! It definitely sounds like a P bass to my ears. P bass feeling neck as well, but not uncomfortable.
Isn't it fitting that a Seattle hockey club would be named the Thunderbirds ? Club founder @TBird1958 is a Seattle resident.
Some things are just right by nature.

I'll take all three to go please!Frank has two Epi Firebirds, Burst and Olive green, both are super nice - I was actually playing the Burst (badly) today.
Happy Thursday!
Right good tootin partner!LOL - sounds like I’m not the only one that’s done that. I can tag 3 out 5 from the hip at 10 yards in under 5 seconds.
As for golf, just remember every swing of the club gets the ball that much closer to the 19th hole and the libation that resides there.
Just sell the blue "Buick" you've posted before. That ought to bring around $10k on a good day. Problem solved.Bingo!

TV doesn't do car racing whether oval, road or drag racing justice either. Not only hearing but feeling the power is something else. Other sports I have no interest in attending anymore due to idiocy of too many fans.

Late again for Thunderbird Thursday!
Some video from our most recent gig:
Tim Lohr on Instagram: "Poppy playing their track "Trophy Hunter" at Nitro Bar in West Reading PA. This is the first song from that night's set, the rest of which will be on the YouTube page shortly @poppybandphiladelphia @nitrobarwestreading"

My late friend had a Non-Reverse like that with 3 P90’s. I’m planning to contact his brother to ask if I can trace it.
