Prob more work, but a pickup switch so you can disconnect it. Then if you change your mind - et voila! We have 2
Thanks, Derek! I believe the rain has gone south of us. Here's the latest hour by hour.

I did bring a poncho for each of us though.
Shoulda charged your phone more too.
Do I sound like your mom? Lol
Outside my price range as well Kat.
And those p/ups.
Better not be some sort of ploy.
If that vid you posted is any indication, and that's what they really sound like....
If I change my mind I have a soldering iron ... but I won't.
A bit of a 'fussy question... what about the 'extra' vol knob ?

Pics or scratch built trains didn't happen.I've made some PGs with some of the thicker styrene from Evergreen, it's cool stuff to work with, esp for scratchbuilding model trains

Bought it in 1965, added a '68 Tele pickup and switch in '73.Maaaaaaan... I like that li'l 1960! I've never seen one with a bridge pup like that!
Now has a Duncan Quarter Pounder.
Neck is 1-3/4" at the nut and chunky.
Yessir, that is ridiculously cool!Bought it in 1965, added a '68 Tele pickup and switch in '73.

So, your customization not withstanding... what's it sound like? I've never even seen one of those in person before. Is it safe to assume it's pretty comparable to the EB-Os of the era, or does it kinda have it's own thing goin' on?
A setback, and a minor one really...
Oooh. 2nd from left. Suhweet. Baby Jeezuz.Most of my '60s Gibsons, just because...

Been busy with my 'prepper knife'. The polystyrene body section came out surprisingly easily. The FoxFur should be glued at some point, but for the moment it's just tucked in around the edges and works well enough.

Kat does your case also have this strong solvent stench? Bought another one, thought the first was an outlier, but those things smell like a glue factory.
Got the first one for 2 years now and it still smells. Not as much, but still and of course the basses start to smell like it, too.
Love Gibson's vanilla cases.

Yeah it does smell noticeably of solvent. The lid is propped open a little to let it air out. It's good to have a home for the NRBird at last.
Yeah, too bad they're the only homes available. The first case went unused for a year then I put ythe Blackbird in. Pretty worried what the new case does to the white finish even if it's poly - simply didn't want it to lie around in a gigbag anymore, even if it's a good one.
Is Carlo's bird poly?
Talking about homes. Got the Allen Woody yesterday. Went to the local music store to get a bag/case. No chance. shortscale hollowbody cases? Got to build one myself.
...and the guy told me they've got issues with Gibson and might not get new gear this year. So maybe no new Epi for me.

Carlo finished the NRBird in Nitro.
As you know the length limits the choices of case for a Bird. It was hard finding something long enough for the Italia LP bass I just sold and even that was too short for a Bird. The Epi EAKCS case is supposed to fit the Allen Woody - someone must have one for you.
