Thunderbird Club

[Thumper]

Actually, I was looking at a SG. But you make a good point. Theoretically, I could get my 2014 Tbird close to 7 lbs!

What’s not to love?

WW.....

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've all seen that gorgeous NR before. Talk about gratuitous.
But flash that baby anytime.

 

[5StringBlues]

What is that one? I don't remember seeing it before. Did you get another 'Bird and not tell us?

Legend has it, they follow her around.

That's a Burny, I didn't love it. I had a dead spot at Fs on the E string that I just couldn't get around, amongst other issues.

I think this was the only time I played it out live, same for the silver boots! I was a bit full of it that night, but that particular lineup of the band could really play with fire.

George’s Burny is really nice. I don’t recall noticing any dead spots on his.

That' a lot of PCB for that few components.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Has anyone tried the Guyker 3pt bridge yet?

Babicz is 5.8 ozs
Hipshot 3 pt 8-8.4 ozs
Hipshot 2 pt 11- 11.2 ozs
Guyker 3pt aluminum 5 ozs
Gibson stock 3pt 16 ozs

Mind you this is AI generated

It's hallucinating again.

I love recordings of that lineup!

Killer set lists!

It's hallucinating again.

Google AI puts the stock Gibson at 5.8. I believe that is accurate. When I swapped the Supertone onto the Epi Classic Pro, It made the body noticeably heavier. But then it mentions it having a mounting plate. So I don’t know…

 

[Engle]

Is that Joan Jet?

Cherry Bomb was the Runaways, which included Joan Jett.

Makes sense.

The Supertone 3point seems to way between 8 and 8.5oz from what I can find online (ignoring AI). I didn't see anything about the Gibson 3point other than AI. That's probably close, though. Heavier metal on the Gibson, but a lot less of it.

Such a killer band! It helped launch the careers of Joan, Jackie Foxx, Michael Steele, Lita Ford, and others.

My Epi IV sold. It chose the guy here at work who thought he was looking for an entry level P or J. After a week's tryout, he loves it -- as do his wife and his 5 1/2 month old daughter. Woohoo! My only regret is that some of the stickers on the case weren't really replaceable. But that's the one case an Epi VP/64 won't fit, so that's the one that went with the bass. Also the one I bought for that bass!

OK, now I only have six to juggle playing time for. Well, five because the '64 II gets the most love right now.
How do the rest of y'all polybird families manage?

On sided with at least an ounce of copper each....pretty mondo...

Tune some E standard, some Eb, and some D…

 

[Instagator]

Tune some E standard, some Eb, and some D…

Absolutely.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Tune some E standard, some Eb, and some D…

I just got rid of my BEAD bird. All the rest are D. Have to think about this.
