Not sure, I didn’t wander over there from the checkout counter in the middle of the store. I didn’t see anything bird shaped, so figured it wasn’t worth looking at.
I don’t know where you work or what you do, but how do I get a job there???
My wife bought me one years ago with "Great Expectations" engraved on it.
Another band I wish I’d seen live, especially in the earlier days.
Seriously. I handle Ampeg and Gibson recycling. For club members, I don’t even charge. For beer buddies I pay shipping. You can’t lose!

I haven't done strap locks on any of my "vintage" Birds, both of my '76s have a pin at the neck heel which seem to work well, I've never thought I'd have
it come loose. I highly recommend Ken Smith Rock Masters for this year Bird, even though I know you'll put some Roto Sounds on it
There’s a PF-50T for sale here, $500, and I know he’ll ship it. I’m also pretty sure he’d take $375-$400
I’ve almost got the PSB (purple sparkle bird) dialed in, I think. Such an odd duck with that neck angle. With EBCFs on both (albeit new ones on the new bird), the Thunderbuckers have more lows and slightly less highs. But just a little EQ on the PSB and they can sound very similar.
I think Yamaha has the only motorcycle-amplified instrument familial relationship. These were certainly capable of bringing the thunder, though!

All this reminds me that there has always been an over abundance of swill.*
*Affordable pathways of drunkenness when young.
Poor man. You don't also use a Royal typewriter by any chance do you? Obviously you brought some modern equipment to tryout to get in the band.
But at least you have grand kids that love you. So that's valuable. (We know what your daughter thinks of you.)
