Thunderbird Club

[GonePlaid]

You didn't drink Peanut Flavored Whiskey there?

...Oh, not that kind of indulged.... Nevermind.

I seriously doubt that PB Whiskey existed anywhere in 66/67.
AFA any other indulgence, it was certainly available. I chose not to participate. Kinda long story, NSFTB.

I think a plane trip to Seattle for a few days is a good idea, just sayin'

Minimum 5 days drive(not in winter)each way. Totaling up gas, food, motels, "gotta stop" souvenir stands, and massages-for my worn out back, it looks like a 'nope'.

I saw an article the other day from the guy that started a movement to plant a trillion trees. He said the movement has led to less biodiversity. I guess they were planting the same type of tree everywhere.

Honduran mahogany?

I just saw this somewhat confusing Epi NR Thunderbird. I like it but wondering how it was made in a PJ configuration. Is this actually a factory bass or some Custom model?
This might be the ultimate T-Bird! Anyone here have one and what do you think?
I'm on the fence with the color...

I had one of the 5'ers. It was heavy, was not Mahogany, sounded "OK" through the P pup(J pup was nearly useless). I don't regret buying it-or selling it. It and I just didn't 'work'. Plus I already had another 5'er.
L to R: Les Paul 5'er, 67 NR(w/ original PG), Epibird 5'er.

Gotcha.

That too.

"For no man ever yet hated his own [nuts, Thunderbird, etc]; but nourisheth and cherisheth it..."

Wow, that's almost Biblical. I didn't know Thunderbirds had been around that long.

That's what airplanes and trains are for.

Honduran mahogany?

I wish.

Last night's leftovers from one of my favorite places... Not as good as Friday night, but will do in a pinch. Looks like I dropped some on the floor....

That looks like the perfect stop on a road trip somewhere.

You have the coolest NR T-Bird plus it's a real Vintage Bird too!

 

[GonePlaid]

Well, I don't 'do' planes, and the train trip-which I'd thoroughly enjoy-would cost even more with sleeper and RR food. And take longer. Then I'd hafta rent a "car"(I don't 'do' cars-has to be a van, maybe an SUV). Back to "nope".

Thanks. As you can see, the PG is broken around that one screw on the upper bout. That's why I had the custom PG made. I still have the original, though.

Proleptically speaking.

Cool looking place!

Most stereotypes are stereotypically wrong. There are a few exceptions, I suppose.

Soooo stereotypical in your stereotyping.

I can barely type in mono.

The dude in the kitchen is thinking, "Man, I wish I could be the bass player. Instead I'm heating up food for people to only dump tomorrow--instead of making them have a good time. Where did I go wrong?"

"When I make them shake their booties, it's a bad thing. Ugh."

This is starting to sound like Tinder.
