And the manufacturing will somehow be screwed up.
Defective tuner and paint bubbles.
Your bass is TV silver, which Epi did a special run of (Mostly guitars) in 2013.

I have seen the SG at GC and the color would look a little different depending on the angle you viewed it from.
Kind of like this:
2012 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro TV Silver w/ Seymour Duncan Distortion Pickups & Locking Tuners
They painted them the same way that Gibson painted to 50th Anniversary gold Thunderbirds, with a thin layer of paint on a body that they didn't use grain-filler on. It leaves a somewhat "raw" finish under the clear coat but gives it an interesting dimension to the finish.

My Thursday well loved backside.
Tease.
WRT an early Thunderbird II, how would one tell a 63 from a 64 from a 65? Is there a good way to tell?

No IIs in ‘63, after that they’re the same, so s/n.
78” reach just gets me to the first fret.
Will be joining your long-haired white VP player club hopefully next week! I won't be putting the ashtrays but I raise you a tugbar.
You forgot about boating and the occasional sinking of said boat due to ignorance or beer...or both. It's what the holiday is all about......It's Memorial Day Weekend. Please take a few moments to buy a car-or a mattress-or major appliance.
Here's one that would be a must have for me, i sooooo wish.
