Anyone know nominal thickness for a Tbird headstock?
Both the base wood portion only, and the overlay used?

TYVMIA!

Ive got a shiny new pair of 916 customs waiting for this build. They're 12mm thick, excluding cable clearance.

Rout depth is 20mm. I'll be re-routing the outline once my template arrives, so If I need to go deeper I can.

Ironically, the ???- brand pickups that came with the kit are hugely thick. 23mm, plus cable. Even sitting flat on the bottom of the rout they stick out:

Smaller in both other dimensions than standard Tbird outline, thankfully, so I can recut precisely.

Ahhh, I forgot about the 916 pickups!

Here's something a little different.

Maruszczyk Jake 4p with Hauessel TB pickups

Lots of clarity, lows, and growl. But, also sounds like it would have a big bark to it, if played a little more firmly!

Haeussel doesn't list Thunderbird pickups on their site. Do these go by another name or are they Custom Shop?

Public Peace/Maruszczyk have featured them for a few years. So, seems like a somewhat standard off-label offering from the custom shop?

That would definitely happen to me. But only once. I got zapped by a cattle grade electric fence once. You tend to remember.

so do the cows.

 

[Stealth57]

I have too many, but I like 'em all. And there's room in the basement for them all, so they all stay. Why make a choice if you don't have to?

Except the VP.

My 2013 EB has a black case with white interior. I don't see it as much different from a brown case with pink interior, except for color and the weird shroud.

Yeah, my 2011 has a black case and white interior, and no shroud or toolkit. Which was disappointing.

They said he was on his was home from a car club meeting… just hit a surprise dump of rain and oops! He’d be feeling it as a good genuine HQ Monaro coupe is upwards of AU$100k, maybe over AU$200k depending on spec and condition.
When I was first driving I could have got a rough one for around AU$2000… A nearish neighbour got a “Jamaica Lime” coloured coupe in the early 80s.

Midstrength beer has become very popular as the drink driving laws are strict.

Twosday

 

[RedVee]

For the record, the US wants no part of this world war. It's good to not be or be in the middle of a problem for once, so excuse us if we sit this one out.

Ha!

I had Vegemite on my breakfast crumpets this morning. Get some B vitamins into me.

so do the cows.

Our half grown German Shepherd sure did. When we got a pen built (required a rock drill) and I removed the e-fence from the barn doorway (no door), I had to carry him through because he refused to get too close to the opening. And he peed himself as we went through the doorway. I had to carry him through several times before he'd even consider going through on his own (they still slept in the barn).
I get it. I was a lot bigger than him, and I still saw stars and could hardly move for a few seconds after accidentally touching the metal wall and the fencing...
