Makes everything else look like a toy! I wish that were an option here.

Agree - my '64 II came with its OHSC. (still have it) A very ill designed case. Basically, you could stack two T-birds in it and close the case. I flew with my '63 II once and before going bolted a strap over the neck-yoke to secure it. When I got to my destination, the strap was ripped out of the yoke but luckily the bass was ok. Both that '63 and my '64 have not experienced the broken hs plight, and they have had their share of drops. As much as it's a common malady w/vintage birds - they are actually pretty tough. Just not Fender tough...
Not a Thunderbird, but this arrived today. Very nice feeling neck and I really like it so far.

If I were adventurous, I'd build a clear-lucite hollow-body mimicking the original construction. It would be a can of worms - but it would be cool and manageably light.

Thanks guys!! I think it sounds great and feels very well made.
Walter Becker…….Skunk on the left…
I had the same model and year but in Fireglo. It sounded and played great except that the neck was not stable and needed a very costly repair to make it playable. Had to find a new home for it…
We talking the Electar pup or a different JC?
I don’t find using the Electar pickup an issue as a thumb rest. But I normally just use the neck Dark Star.Zero modification thumb rest for the Casady…
