He certainly does - good to see that he gets out and plays quite regularly.
Some interesting comments about the white Thunderbird from some friends....
Here's a cool interview with Martin about his Thunderbirds.

Good stuff. I liked your sig, too.
New pedal day yesterday:
The FX50-B. On it's own I didn't like it all, too harsh and farty. In the loop with clean blend it was better but stacked with the Tone Driver above it sounds great. The Tone Driver is my basic sound with minimum gain and the FX50-B acts as it's booster now.
Love the colour too.

Martin is one of my all time favorites and a big reason why I picked Thunderbirds
My first concert in 1973
He’s why I love Thunderbirds. WA is one of my all time favorites.
@JJR58. Several shows in Germany this April.
Great minds think alike.Martin is one of my all time favorites and a big reason why I picked Thunderbirds

Probably my favorite Wishbone Ash track. Great tone and Martin really ramps it up at the end
Ok. This is getting weird. When I brought Wishbone Four home from POC records (a very cool store in Lompoc back in the day) I probably played Ballad twenty five times that night.
Oh. And for Jeff. The other Wishbone Ash band is touring Germany now. Not quite the same without Martin. But still….
IDK. Without saying you are on par (few are), I've heard some pretty good playin' from you and your live sound/tone is always killer.
But he was using an Ashdown.
Not my favorite so far with the '64 Thunderbird or VPs.

You're suggesting there are 2 too many?
For the record, no one has ever said such a thing about you here. Not even when you were half a world a way.

Somehow they forgot to include the Les Paul Junior Tribute.
I came across this while looking for more info about my 2018 Thunderbird. Kinda cool to see the actual sales brochure for my bass...lots of other 'Birds and assorted Gibson semi-oddities on this site.
Interesting reading about the white bird with a maple headstock and neck to the 5th fret.
I think they just didn’t get around to it with the bankruptcy and all. I don’t know that they do those detailed brochures any more. The one for the ‘15 is amazingly detailed.
