Yes, I think.... I haven't used it since I made countertops 20 yrs ago! Might be in a box from moving. I got rid of most of my woodworking tools. I didn't use them and they were taking up space..... Hammers? I have plenty!

Happy Flag Day and 60th Ann of the mighty Maple Leaf. (Not said sarcastically.) It's a cool flag.
Yes, your Highness. Hale to the king of diary cows!
My 2019 VP’s pickups had Epiphone stamped(?) in the metal on the back, too.
I bought a set of Chinabuckers a couple of years ago.
Gibson on left, CB on right:
I ordered a set of the cheap Pro buckers from eBay, popped them into my Orville and they sound great!
I think they are seconds. One has some slight imperfections in the chrome. I inevitably hit my pickups with the strings, so that doesn’t bother me.
I’m pretty sure someone said the current Tbird 64 probuckers don’t have the Epi stamp
Note the sticker on the CB reads BHK and the sticker on the Probucker reads BHC.
Yours was a lot hotter than mine. Came in at 8.5 on the bridge for the CBs
Truth is been pretty happy with the sound quality though

Cool! You are about to become one of us.
King of chicken fetus' just didn't have much going for it.

There is something a little different about 2001 pickups. The pixie dust bass is an '01 with stock pickups.
We've got some Aussie bloke showing up for the Daytona 500 tomorrow. (Aaron Wood, recently retired Rugby legend)
He's standing with Ryan Blaney, past NASCAR champ.

A Rugby League prop forward. His last few years seemed to be a case of playing while ever someone would pay him. Which is reasonable, but he was a long way past his best.
At his peak he played for NSW and Australia. His club teams were Tigers, Sharks, and short stints with Dragons and SeaEagles.
Decent (better than) bloke, well regarded and speaks well especially for an ex Prop.
He has picked up a radio gig on a footy show.He (no 8) had a funny moment in a try celebration for NSW vs Qld.
I've got the TR adjusted (It works!!), pickups with added foam. Sounds pretty good at home. Not as big sounding as the '64 it seems, but maybe more mids. Not honky mids, but good mids. Going to but other strap buttons on it and try to give it a go Sunday. Assuming the headstock stays on over night! Poor bass. Just needed someone to show it some love. It desires a better life than looking like it does. Already looks better. I cleaned the fretboard and frets. Both super dirty. The frets had ZERO shine. Worst I've ever had to address. The fretboard was so dry it looked like cheap paneling from the 70s. I cleaned all the grime off and oiled it good. Twice. it's still dry but I'm going to let that soak in for a week or so. Doesn't look like the same fretboard.
Yeah. I certainly am a fan of both the Alnico Vs and the ceramic Tbird pluses. That set of the Tbird+ pickups in the ‘05 Studio are particularly special with SIT Power Steels through the M6 Carbine.

I guess the pit reporter was making him feel good!
Yeah, I'm not sure what he was doing there in the clip. Drunk fans running on the field seem to have had more finesses!
those 2 look like life sized cardboard cutouts....
