my problem with Guiness is it doesn't really pack a punch and being pretty filling, getting there can be bloatey.....

I think that was deliberate on Greco's part, that urban myth that goes 'round probably had something to do with it.
Re the tummy cut, neither of my two '76s have it - which is odd because the originals and re-issues do.
I don't recall ever seeing a 70's with the cut.
None on my ‘79 either.
When I was working construction and we were doing several TexMex restaurants that were really popular we had to work crazy hours. Going from job to job and around restaurant's schedule for the ones we reconfigured. We would go in as normal in the morning. Get off in the afternoon, then have to come back at 11 to do things when no one was there and work through the night. At times go to another job in the morning. Crazy. Everyone's biological schedule was off and we often didn't feel like eating in the mornings. Hard living at the time didn't help any of us either. So our "breakfast of champions,” as we called it was this wonderful stuff. Everyone had a bottle in their gang box and/or in the trailer/site office.

I don't think any do. Not that I recall anyway. It's Gibson so there could be a few around.
Maybe if they had the Belly cut they wouldn't weight 15lbs. (Slight exaggeration.)

The 67NR definitely has a belly cut. Just not big enuff for mine.

I am not sure why it is called a belly cut. Hip or leg cut is more accurate.
of the broken headstock? feels goofy when compared to an older Gibby with that shorter headstock and big tuners....feels like they come close to touching.....

I liked it right off, but for me, Dragon's Milk is the best I've tried.
We're just now starting to have days that aren't 91-95F, which is late for us.Sydney is looking forward to a 100F day today.A bit early in the year for it, still in Spring!
Forecast is for 39c (102F).
Latest sighting:
Fingers crossed, I will have serious reason to seriously celebrate a serious T-Bird Thursday tomorrow.
Most seriously.

As opposed to the breakfast of champignons.
If you could have either a 1964 or a Bicentennial, which would you prefer (ignoring collectability, etc.) and why?
Nah, I'll pass. Don't even like Thunderbirds. Heard they are neck-divers.
Out of curiosity, where did you get the pickup cover?
