Out of Curiosity, I went looking for 2015s today. There is one at GC.

No mention in either ad about the case.

I checked on the bay and didn’t see any.

They will not get any less expensive as time passes Dave. Now’s your chance. The one at GC looks pretty clean.

The 2015 is the Cadillac of Thunderbirds.

It’s the required club pickguard for those who are fortunate enough to have a ‘15.

It even looks good on ‘11s.

Indeed. But I’m a purist. While I own a copy of Southern by the Grace of God, I have not followed the post-crash version of Skynyrd. Other people are free to enjoy it as they will.

I have the live album from Pittsburgh. I don't mind listening to some of the newer songs, but don't go out of my way. It's/was little more than a tribute band with an original member or two. I have everything prior to that. Gone through two live albums (years ago) and on my CD version now, even have the original Street Survivors album that was initially recalled. Miles is the other devotee.

The economy must be really bad in California. Everyone is diving old cars like in Cuba.

The car show I played on Canada Day had 600 cars. Many were jaw dropping gorgeous.
And a few AMCs. The green Gremlin is a full on drag car.

My preference is to re-do it in solid black as it was originally - I've found a couple of sources that I've bookmarked, but as I've got other projects in process/in queue, I've not cut into it further, yet.






Of the amps I've tried with the cab so far, the Peavey Mark III/IV amps have been the best, imo, largely because of their EQ-ing options.
Would love to hear how it sounds cranked up a bit......

Did I ever mention I was a fool for selling my MK III?........

I have learned from how great my Foundation is that one should not sell made in USA Peavy gear.

Agree. I got smart too late. I recall playing one of those years ago and thought they were nice. Haven't seen one to play one in forever.

Sorry, Autocorrect, or fat fingers!

The 2015 at GC has been there about a month so might be a little wiggle room on the price.

ok, time for the grownups….

Hmm. For some reason they don't seem to have any of this:

1. 
   yeah we charge (sometimes up to 100 bucks a pop) for those…..whore sounds about right…. we played a wedding in a barn once where everyone got pretty sauced….. the father of the bride offered us what he paid us for the whole gig to do an extra set….we accepted……felt a little slimy about that but got over it pretty quick….

We wouldn't be allowed to 'charge' for any requests at places we play. However, the tip container is always in front of the band.

So @Stealth57, go for it. You need a Gibson to play through all those old amps you keep bringing home.

So, what’s a reasonable offer if it’s been listed for a month? Also, can’t find the full description of any issues.
