Thunderbird Club

I found this last night while deep diving. Sadly it was sold 3 months ago. But wow.

I might get banned for saying this, but I think my 2013EB 5 string sounds better than my 2015 Tbird.:thumbsup:
And that’s in spite of the tone being sucked out by the tort pickguard. ;)
It's just a little brighter. Tonewood and all that, I guess. I haven't done a side by side comparison with the same strings and setup, so I can't say whether one sounds better than the other. Mine has a black pickguard. The original tort guard is in the case, although I don't know what for.
 
Yep, all Bourbon is Whiskey, but not all Whiskey is Bourbon. It’s all in the grain.
Edit: if you live in Florida, it’s all in the peanut butter.
Add Utah to the list. We like Peanut Butter Whiskey and Salted Caramel Whiskey here, even Cookie Dough. I'm more partial to Tequila personally. There is even Cinnamon Whiskey for adults here, in Provo Utah of all places.

So it doesn't hurt anyone's eyes?:rolleyes:
 
I'm down to Qatar and Singapore, I don't fly domestic much anymore. I dropped Emirates off the list as the cabin crew went from respectful international types to grumpy old white women.
We like Alaska and Delta for domestic US. BA and Lufthansa used to be good internationally, but I don't think we've flown out of the country since March of 2019, so unsure about international.
 
Same thing happened at the track where I used to race. Build a fancy house next to a race track and what can you expect? Loud racing engines, of course. Why is that a surprise? Oh, well.
Austin has lost a lot of venues where you used to be able to take your Thunderbird and a band to play because rich people buy land next door, build a high rise, and then less rich people buy or rent form those people and get pissed about the live music capital being the live music capital.
