If all of you have your fingers fall off--remember PillO and I warned you.
They do sound great, though.
Curious to know; I've only played a handful of thunderbirds in my life; my dad's blackbird, some epi bolt ons (burst, goth, blackbird), the active pros, the classic pros. I'd wanna know out of the gibson range/years, which bird is the most "aggressive" sounding.
Having never played any old school ones, i've no clue if 60's or 70's birds, or 80's birds would be in terms aggressive. Mind you, they all sound like angry pianos, lets get that outBut between a 60's parallel wired Bird IV vs a 70's series wired bird IV, vs the post 87-88 parallel bird IVs - how would anyone go by classifying & explaining each era of bird's tone.
My experience is limited in terms of actual Gibsons, but the original run is the most aggressive I've heard. But you referenced some Epis, too. The VP (nee 60s Thunderbird) is very aggressive. If anything, the Greco is more aggressive than either of the above. But that original Gibson plays like a dream. Everything but the removable headstock is perfect. Why Gibson can't and won't simply reproduce that is beyond me. Epi, too, but they came close with the VP.
(I haven't (AFAIK) heard or played the new Gibson NR, the Nikki model, or the latest signature models).

I've been using these strings for a long time.
Really don't know what all the fuss is about.
But i am an alien.

Yopu better be glad I'm not playing the Voodoo EBCFs, or every note I'd play would burn or @PillO's your fingers!
That must be it!I've been using these strings for a long time.

My thing is, i don't know how you guys can play rounds.
That's when princess alien says no.
Besides, purple silks, ya know.

I always like it when a cat noses up to the camera and is checking it out, and their eyes cross just a little bit...The neighbor's cat decided he wanted to "help" with vehicle maintenance.....

Looks like it's the do-hicky... those things don't last forever you know.
Sites(US)with much better prices say that can't sell them outside of the US.
They sounded great on the Embassy(also Buckers)'til the claw let go.
Yeah. We've had all these discussions on tone woods, but what about tone plastics?

There was mention of the plastic thumb rest.
Funny thing, that. I ordered one to put on my Epi EB-0. It arrived, I was kinda unimpressed. Put the real wood one I took offa the 67 on the EB-0. Still have the plastic one. IDK what I'll do with it.

Hey thundermates!
I'm just passing thru to share my new single, which, of course, was recorded with my Thunderbird pickups as usual.
