Thunderbird Club

Another 60s bird (refinished in a Barbie pink and missing all its frets) was found beheaded on an empty stage. Who would do such a dastardly deed? 427 pages, 34 muscle cars, 219 bumbling acts, 13 assaults by Cato, and 42 attempts at assassination by his own superior later, an undead Chief Inspector Clouseau solves the Case of the Decapitated Pink Panther; it was the floor when the foolish bird's headstock decided to floor dive from bassist Jean Ent Whistler's shoulder height during a performance of Boris the Spider.
The mystery of the frets was never solved, despite clear imprints of bunny slippers in the sawdust on the stage.
LOL!

But we all know very good and well where those frets are. Knowing and proving it in a court of law is another matter. Sequel could be the "The Case of the Furry Frets."

Dimebag Willy in a trenchcoat, ensconced in a dark alley by a busy sidewalk: "Pssst! Hey, kid! Wanna buy some Bird frets? Vintage Pro, Classic Pro, Pro Pro, Greco, what do ya like?"
 
Other employee after consulting Big Book o' Scott): I'll bet a new set of Roto 66s Scott is taking ownership photos with that bass three minutes after walking in the door.
First thing I did was slap a set of Rotosounds on it ;) Also purchased at a discount. I'm fond of saying I need another job to pay for this one.

So I understand you occasionally work at House of Guitars? I can hear them now. Owner: Scott will be in today. Assistant: That 60’s Thunderbird won’t last five minutes. Owner: I’ve got to rethink that part-time employee discount program.
I've been associated with the HOG since 1976, they have been unbelievably generous over the years.
