Thunderbird Club

Thanks for the info MCF. I'd have preferred the wider nut, but its not a deal breaker. Yours looks great!

TBird1958 thanks for the reminder I'm #715. I sure wish I hadn't sold my Gibson. It had a metal pickguard that I bought on eBay, and I fabricated a metal truss rod cover myself. Here's a pic.

Relish the 1.5 JP. It makes the T.V. Silver different from the others. The other colors come up now and then so you can get another one with the wider nut. There was a Sparkling Pelham Blue one not so long ago that was available….beautiful color.

I just did a quick inventory and realised that my Thunderbird collection is complete.

Now my next insane plan is wanting to put a horseshoe Ric pick up in my Precision :D

Heretic!
That's it, you're sleeping out back where the jet exhaust will clear your head! :laugh:
 
The California coast got slammed the last couple of days including Pacifica. We were there today and the waves were big but not as big, but there was black sand everywhere and lots of sitting water along the promenade street. The property on the other side of that street will be in the ocean within the next 10 yrs.

can’t like…..Capitola disappeared again…..this time the SC wharf got it……bad stuff, last night’s showers wreaked all kinda havoc up in the hills…..too early in the season for this….next weekend’s gig at the Sandbar may be canceled…..major drag…whatever live venues are left keep getting hammered with stuff like this…….:rollno:

I saw that (Capitola/SC) and Aptos also. But like.., climate change doesn't exist right? :bored:
 
I picked a new Mustang at a music store recently. They really captured the feel and look of the old ones. I resisted - don't need another short scale.

Yah, I've toyed with the idea of getting a Mustang one the years. I have a nice set of vintage late '60s Fender stamped lollypop shorties if I ever get one.
