Thunderbird Club

Same thing(almost)to train freaks.

Here is an Epi T-Bird in a color I don't think I have seen before:

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

It sure looks olive green in the pics, very much like one of Frank's Firebirds - but, it could be poorly lit photography too.
 
Some time in the past few years they made a bunch of models in that color. I was surprised but several people here said they loved it. Ok! Something for everyone!

That said, I can only find evidence online of them selling guitars (including Firebirds) so this was either a one off, a refin, or bizarre lighting on a TV silver per Marshall.
 
I think those pics are horrible and that is actually a TV Silver Limited Edition Custom Shop. Bridge and tuners are correct for that Thunderbird.
This one just looks like a solid green in every pic. I thought it was one of the LEs but had been refined or was a one off. Did they even make any with other colors? I only recall seeing silver. Possibly turned an odd color?
 
I just learned that if one cannot afford a synthesizer there's always the way to make things self-oscillate. Actually, I learned that ages ago when the battery started to go sour on the Ibanez DCF10 chorus/flanger and it started to howl like dogs of doom.
But I didn't know that any kind of mixer could do that too when you just patch outputs to inputs.
Just tried it with the cheap Behringer mixer I have and here's three tracks going on. The signal went through my pedal board but I assure it didn't make it any more weird than it already was. Felt like I was trying to operate a modular synth I knew nothing about since every knob interacted with each other.
Next time I will try to add some pedals within the loops.

:laugh: That could drive one nuts if it started doing that on a gig.
 
Well, it is at GC(who, BTW, has been recruiting me to shoot their pics:rollno:).
