I didn't know Harley made a Thunderbird back when. Learn something new every day. I knew Triumph did.

Maybe someday, when I get rich....those old, didn't-make-many-of-them Sportsters aren't very cheap in the sort of condition that one is.
*IF* you can find one that's not been butchered up, that is :rollno:

Talk to our friend @Bassmike62. I don’t know if he uses CNC plans, but he uses 7ender necks.

Wish I could help... what are CNC plans ?
For my 7enderBirds, I either lift the neck off an Aerodyne Jazz Basses and sell the body, or purchase a neck separately. I bring all my pieces to a luthier and ask him to "make it go", just like a good ol'Pakled.

This club gets it. Thunderbirds are all about the different builds, the strings on them, the pickups in them, the amps they play through, the vehicles that transport them, the cases that carry them, the racks they hang on, the players who play them (whether they’re famous or not), the music Thunderbird players listen to, the books Thunderbird players read, the places Thunderbird players go, the bands Thunderbird players are in, and the food and libations that go along with enjoying them. And Thunderbird players’ pets. Everything is connected. Even watermelons.

The watermelon connection has been tenuous lately, at best.

Meanwhile, I bet there are almost no other TB GTGs, and whatever there are, I'd be surprised if they were anywhere near as awesome as ours. It would be great to be proved wrong.

Meanwhile, what soda goes best with an early 90's Greco bird?

Used to see mention of a few regional forum wide GTGs pre pandemic. I recall one was in Seattle about five or six years or so ago. I don’t know if Veronica or Will went. Our Thunderbird GTG there next year will be awesome.

Seattle's had quite a few GTG's over the years and that is where I first met Will IIRC, fun and all for sure but ours are the stuff of great memories.
