There are concerning number of used NSs for sale. If they were selling like crazy I would honestly consider selling mine. I'm not finished trying a few things, but it is on probation and hasn't earned it's place in the flock yet.
I think many bought them in a hurry at the beginning thinking that the run would be limited. But a lot have been built and sold for coming up on three years now. And apparently two new colors are coming so It is obviously still selling well enough for production to continue for awhile longer.
It looks like there are 76 on Reverb today. I don't know the breakdown between new and used. So yeah, they're readily available. Mine ain't going anywhere. It's a comfortable player and sounds amazing.
The Thunderbird I've given up on is the Ebony VP. Although it's a light weight one from '17, it isn't comfortable for me to play and I think the pickups are just meh. I don't think there is any demand for it. So it'll likely just sit around and gather dust unless I decide to essentially give it away.

It could happen! If nothing else you can sit in for me with the rest of The Nasty Habits on Sunday, they'll all be over to meet everyone and make music.

Unique and nice! I have an Epi Pro IV too and I upgraded the pickups and controls and I like it. Yours is awesome looking!
Nice looking family Chuck!
Bolt on Neck T-Bird from Japan. Is this a color that is only available in Japan? I've seen older ones that color but they don't list the year.

This is a pretty cool idea for a compact setup...
2010 like mine but maybe more UV exposure? Compared to my 2014 CP, this is more cream than white.

A comment I just put in my code. Homage to a cool community.
Plus, V doesn't give herself enough credit. Not that she's alone in that.
That is the Limited Edition Custom Shop from the 2010 run. The serial number has been redacted. They were imported from China. That price is about $100 higher than average, although they are becoming scarce these days. The pickups are said to be guitar humbuckers. They have a huge bottom end.
I have a collection of the LE CS Epi's and love them. They are great players and a good value. All but the '13 TV Silver Custom Shops have the 1.72 nut. The TV Silvers have a 1.5 nut.
It's a Custom Shop TT!

Dave could make one of those in a day. He's very talented that way.
