I do love the bat wings on Tbird headstocks, those and lollipops. Never been that fond of the clover tuner on a bird head.

 

[Engle]

Holy cow, do they really check out at 28-32k?!?!?! That's crazy high

Yes, the Gibson ones do. I can’t remember about the Artec, but I’ll check when I get home.

Goodbye, Pacific Ocean breezes! You're landlocked!

Just landed. Looks flat! I’m sure I’ll survive for 2 days

A Curis Novak EBO pickup I recently owned was right at 30k

 

[Engle]

If anyone does I'd love to know?

It will be one of my first projects when I get one But yeah if someone has the file for it, that would be great!

 

[Engle]

Rain will be a blessing there, what with smoke. Smoke season is not fun.

I enjoy playing blues. It’s a challenge: keep it steady and support the tune, but put in subtle variations to keep it interesting. And there’s nothing better than a well placed slow walk up and/or down a couple of octaves.

Sunsets are pretty as long as you have a way to breathe.

I wasn’t expecting the apocalyptic scene, circling birds and all!

measuring this next….curious….Thunderbird for blues?….….

Can't be done. 7ender overdub going on. We all know Thunderbirds are for hard rock only. Which explains why they didn't sell when new since hard rock wasn't really a thing yet.

Sounded great, dude--as always!

I’m cleaning the alien disease off of the Lollars, there’s gotta be a difference in tone now.

Plus new tuners are going on.
But some serious modding is coming it’s way in the very near future.

That's some weird stuff. Send that rag to NASA for testing.

Sure is looking good!

 

[dagrev]

Sounds great! Always love the very prominent visible and audible role bass plays in blues, such fun to play. Kind of a shame that blues isn’t more mainstream than a lot of the auto tuned pop junk that seems to dominate the music industry today.

Well said. (One of the great things about Motown/Stax recordings. The bass often is the main driver.) I could listen to nothing but blues. But love all the other good stuff and am glad for so much good music.

Somebody say bat wing?

You’re such a tease.

 

[dagrev]

I like the color so much....

Grady got a newer ride.....

 

[Ringhammer]

We all know Thunderbirds are for hard rock only.

I would play my Thunderbirds for whatever style I wanted! However, all I play is hard rock (and heavy, downtuned hard rock), so … win win!
