My neck-through BC Rich has a pitched neck. Looks exaggerated here because it's mirrored in its reflection.

I'll have to look at my Eagle to see if it has that wedge under the end of the fingerboard.

Well, I'll be dipped! Chris Robinson does own shoes.

and don’t forget the schematic pasted to the bottom of the top panel….not a big deal in the days of the internet but very forward thinking back in the day….assumes the amp can be serviced by any tech anywhere, anytime….was never a fan of Pete’s topologies/tone but you can’t knock these amps in any way…

Lots of old radios, tape recorders, etc. came with schematics; with AM radios, especially, they were often on the cab. Kalamazoo guitar and bass amps had that feature as well. I appreciate what we have today but also miss that aspect of those days.

The red is much nicer in person than what I had seen in pictures, it's deeper and darker, I quite like it. Still a very good Bird at a reasonable price, congratulations on yours!

I'm still hoping Epi does a vintage cherry at some point. Something like this:

All of those axes are nice and it is a rockin' tune!

@WillyW where have I seen that T-Bird before? Ha!

@TBird1958 After seeing the black on that headstock I think you're right about painting yours black!

I just wish they’d open up the custom shop and let us order custom colors.

She lives here in Germany.
As much as I’d love for her to meet all us freaks.
Her and I have bigger fish to fry.
So I’ll be flying solo to Seattle.

Looking forward to hanging out with you and the rest of the freaks!

I need to read that thread front to back and over again!

I agree Miles! It would be nice if you could choose colors and options and configure it like buying a new car.
I know CUSTOM builders do this but I don't have $5k to throw down!

The GC near me is not completely stocked, but it’s far closer than it’s been since the pandemic hit. Less than 10% as many basses, and zero Gibson or Epi basses, AFAICT. I discussed the new 64 TBs with the salesdude. Will it make a difference? No idea. Worth a shot.

Gibson did at different times. Mine is a 2014. They pop up from time to time.

The one thing I have to give credit to guitar center for is that they do good job of keeping their inventory updated online.
