Thunderbird Club

[GonePlaid]

If you aren't a PJ fan it may not be for you. But there are a TON of replacement pickups that might make it something you like. I believe Mr. North has one of the 4 string variants so if you are going to his place you could probably test it to see if you like it. If you like it you could always replace the PJs with some type of Tbird pickups like this person did.

And that was my dilemma. I could live with the sound of the P pup(the J pup being totally useless), but to get a more 'Bird-ish tone-maybe, still isn't mahogany-I was gonna hafta to put $ I didn't have into someone(I don't have the skills)putting in a Thunderbird pup[which one?]and doing whatever needed done with the PG/routing. And I already had/have the LPB2/5. It just wasn't worth it.
To me.
YMMV.

Seems like a good price one of these 2015 models.

Prices keep going up. $1450 a year ago, though I did see a post on Facebook that someone in Canada picked one up recently for $1250.

That is a pretty good price. Someone just bought one from a Canadian seller for 1300 CAD which was an amazing deal. Otherwise, I haven’t seen any others offered for quite some time.

$1300 CAD is like what? $825 USD?

I may be confused on my NY info, but it was a slow song. The last vid I saw was an old TV program (I think), with just him, acoustic and harp maybe.

Then probably this one from Harvest.

Happy Birthday to you Glenn @Instagator

Yes. That's it. How could I forget that title when it's similar to one of my favorite LS songs with a similar warning.


And the version that is recorded and mixed well.

He showed up to say, "Happy Birthday Mr. Gator!"

And something about not wanting to be lunch.

Prefer the non-restomod personally.

Happy Birthday Captain!..

Happy Birthday Glenn @Instagator! We have more in common than our Thunderbird addiction.

All they’d have to say is inspected by Chuck and the issue would be moot.

Exactly! But in this case I think it was possibly how the seller came off just discounting Marshall. He could have been like, "I determined that by doing so the amp will have a long trouble-free life-span"... or something like that.

HBD Glenn @Instagator!

Happy Birthday to you Glenn @Instagator
Have a wonderful day!

And from me too also.

Glenn, of course, Mrs. Gator said go buy a new Thunderbird. At least that's what I hear. Happy b-day.

 

[JIO]

I'm glad I wasn't the only one lost as to how you approach it! Looks boobytrapped. Take one thing out and it all goes everywhere.
