Thanks! That closeout inverness is really tempting, but deep down I know I'd always wish it was white or ember red. Maybe I should just wait...The Epi '64 is a little bigger than the previous Vintage Pro (Indonesia built) ones, both are a little bigger than any Gibson Reverse, nowhere near as beefy as the 2021 Gibson Non Reverse. Are they playable? Yes.
Ember Red with a black painted headstock.
I heard that Mike!This will be sort of shocking to many of you, but I think I'm satisfied with my Classic Pro Epi Thunderbird.
Now, if I run into one that's sleeker, lighter, is little more trad looking than mine with the three-point bridge (claw tailpiece and separate bridge) and still delivers the belly-backed punch/crunch up top that my Classic delivers, I could be enticed and won. But, I can lean my narrow, light-on-girth frame into this ergos-friendly plank and dig up dirt and gold out of it. With it I can hold up the blues and power the rock song, play a gnarly, melody-laced solo (as I'm able) and beat a complex time figure into submission. It's got a voice that's fun to lay a swirly line on the table with, and makes the savage beast want to sit and engage with polite company.
So if it could do all that, I'd want another I suppose. But otherwise, I'm happy to walk with what I've got...
I know I'm now asking for it, there's a Greco looming nearby, I know it.
*Sigh*...

The hot pink is... hot.
There went that excuse. Several times!
Nah, not better. Everything in Oz really is trying to kill you. Having swum with lots of sharks by now, I'm a little more concerned about the two legged scary fauna that's always trying to kill you. Usually by excess amounts of barbecue and beer.
I don't actually know how much any of my instruments of any kind weigh.
There's some colors that would look really good on a Thunderbird right there. Some that wouldn't. Somebody gets paid to come up with the names of those colors. I want that job.
I would play a bass that color. Although unlike the other Willie, my hot pink bass would have frets.
You seem to fake having a good time against your will very well.

Shouldn’t she be the taller one?
I have never heard of them here. Possibly an individual (or maybe a single small business) that moved here from San Diego. First location seems to have opened 8 yrs ago. It's not impressive and near UofL. Must have been doing well enough (once here anyway) to open two locations in really nice parts of town. The one I was at also had a drive through that was backed up all during lunch time.
