I recommend NOT greasing the brakes. At least, not your brakes.
if you grease the pads the brakes won't squeak

They were $999 when new in 2011. That is close to $1400 today. They stayed in the low $1000 area when one occasionally popped up until the last couple years. They're rare. I hope the seller gets their price.I hadn't gotten along with short scales until my '66 KB-1, and that's a big lot of munny for a bird, but probably worth it.
had a SG, mustang, longhorn, and wild thing short scale and didn't like em.
Just to be clear, you are talking the pastry?Look like Portugese custard tarts

Better gas milage. Reduces drag and virtually eliminates all that stopping and starting that kills efficiency.I recommend NOT greasing the brakes. At least, not your brakes.
That has been for sale a number of times, or is just staying for sale. Maybe it can't find a good home and it needs to ride in Willy's Corvette.
Of course YOU do. Lol. I'd like to score one of those too.They were $999 when new in 2011. That is close to $1400 today. They stayed in the low $1000 area when one occasionally popped up until the last couple years. They're rare. I hope the seller gets their price.
Bowmore 12 and Macallan 12 are what the house stocks, gentlemen
There will be some Pimm's #1 on hand along with a few other nice treats.
Scotch? For me, nothing but Laphroaig Single Malt will do. Discovered it when I was stationed in the UK, and... the rest is history...![]()
Always been a fan of Vol/Vol stacks. Never cared for the way most blend stacks drop volume at center detent.I had a blend knob since I bought this bass and was never satisfied. Today I ripped that out and installed a stacked VV. The dynamics and colour of this bass has just come alive! I am now convinced of my blend knob hatred and love VV. Downside: the big goofy knob.

Always on the hunt for a creamy smooth Scotch to drink neat or on the rocks, ideally low burn rich flavor - I have yet to find one. I recently bought a bottle of this…

OMG - smells like a combination of rubbing alcohol, iodine and hydrogen peroxide (strong hyper medicinal antiseptic type odor) and tastes even worse. Not sure if I'm just not a Scotch kinda guy or if this brand is an outlier in the Scotch world, but I absolutely hated it and couldn't spit it out fast enough. Good news is, my medicine cabinet is now fully stocked with antiseptic fluid to sanitize open wounds.![]()
I liken Laphroaig to scotch like IPAs to beer. Those that like it really like it. Those that don't really don't.Always on the hunt for a creamy smooth Scotch to drink neat or on the rocks, ideally low burn rich flavor - I have yet to find one. I recently bought a bottle of this…

Is the body a full size Tbird body, or is it scaled down slightly in size as well?Yep. If you recall mine, the top was refinished at a shop in Providence to cover a large scratch in the finish. Like I say, mine is a really nice Thunderbird.
TT!
