Thunderbird Club

Anyone getting flooded with pop up ads? Every 30 seconds I get this ad for La Liga and have to wait for the close X to appear. Only on my iPhone.

And here they are from the Gibson site. And I checked as recently as last Saturday for any news. It doesn't look like they distinguish between bridge and neck.

I'm going to order a vintage one direct from Gibson. Im hoping George can help me install it in the BaCH when I go down for my soldering lesson.

This is so awesome of Gibson to finally be offering these.
And vintage Alnico pickup is ordered. $139.64 with CA tax and with free shipping. It'll go in the BaCH II. I'm excited.
 
No bird content, but set up for the last show of the tour

Great pic! Album cover material right there. I'm sure it'll be a great show.

Sweet! Are you going to use a pickup ring?
I put one on the BaCH when I got it. I love this Thunderbird. It's set up with nice low action, has a fast neck, and a belly cut (it's either a version 2 or 3).
Aren't the tb+ what I have in my CP?

are these current ones black plastic covers or shiny metal?
Yes. They look like plastic. The vintage are in chrome.

Thunderbird I! I like the look! Not sure I would get by with only the bridge pickup 'though. Maybe if it was positioned a bit more towards the neck.
Hmmm, now I got the gas for Rickenbacker 4000. I'd definitely get by with that.
Would love to try the set neck version.
