Thunderbird Club

Just did half a thing…
View attachment 7425612
These Epiphone Non Reverse Reversed headstock necks don’t come up for sale often (if ever). Appears to be in really good shape, nice level frets, working truss, no bow or twist. Even included the tuners, nut and truss cover. It’ll sit in inventory until I decide what to build around it.


7enderbird II is what you need!

0 of the highest feedback scorers are Thunderbird Club members. Man, there's a lot of churn on that list! Maybe we just have a good grip (which helps saves headstocks) on what we like. Or we tend not to use TB classifieds. I don't know. 4 of my 7 birds came from TC members but I think I found out through interactions here about those birds.
1 (the coolest) staff member (@TBird1958 ) is an active Thunderbird Club member.

By active, I mean "posts regularly". I didn't count people who post once in a blue (or green cheese) moon, even if they top the "Most Messages" list (looks over glasses at Youknow Hoo).

Some of you all are post hoes! :woot:

Quality, I like a quality post. That, and a Manhattan.

2nd vintage T-bird - 1978 (first in '74) :) :bassist: I used to sit like this all the time - can't do it (for long) these days...

Show me a pic of the coolest 7enderbird II you’ve seen.

I tend to not like the various bastardizations of the traditional Thunderbird shape i.e Schecter, Dean et al, with the exception of Peter Cook's creations and Carlo's recreations for JAE. I don't know that a II was ever done, but I do love this shape, especially with the blocked lefty neck, in fact moreso than the tradition TBird body.
