I wonder if @Larry V might be of some assistance. He's even over on your side o' the state

If Gibson only makes 100 Thunderbird basses in 2018, I guess the price is gonna be huge ... if these rumours about 2018 basses are real, I don't think that I'm gonna buy the Vintage Pro.
I really need to buy a better amp first. Then I'm gonna save some money for a 2018 Thunderbird if they're not too expensive.

I can't vouch for the brand name, but you lefties seem to be pretty starved. This is a good lookin' neck-thru lefty that you don't need to take out a mortgage for...

One of the photos reveals what would appear to be a neck/body joint (something you don't typically see on a neck-thru
). It would appear to be a set neck... but still worth a lookysee

In the mid 80s I shared shop space in L.A. with a guy who was doing custom moldings for a high end house. He bought 3000 bf of Honduras. He let me pick through it and I built a bedroom suite from what I chose. Unfortunately, no pix.

That 's a special one! I had a one piece blank I'd been saving for at least three years. #0050 definitely seemed the right time to use it.
The raw...
...and the cooked.
Thanks, Rex!
Good luck, Bryan. Sorry to say that I don't have an Epi at the price point you're probably looking for. In case you want to go a bit higher though, I could part with my "Dorothy" Tbird for what I paid. $400 She's a beauty but I just don't play her and she just hangs on the wall. No dings or scratches... damn near perfect. 1 of 400, I believe.

Bryan and I have partied together and I've been to two of his shows. I highly recommend catching one when he comes to your side of the state!
I could also let the Alpine White Classic Pro go for $400 and she is damn near perfect as well.

This is the only pic I have of Dorothy(ruby red) on my phone. If you'd like to see better pics, I can take some when I get home. Let me know if you're interested, Bryan.
I was wondering what was up with the pg on that black TBird on the far right, then I stumbled upon a short scale Gibson TBird in the classifieds that looks identical. If that is a short scale how's it play compared to a long scale TBird?
It plays really nice and sounds every bit a Thunderbird since the p/ups and electronics are identical. I picked it up to replace my SG Bass, the Walnut 2014 I posted a few pages back. No regrets and that short scale is a keeper.
Hey, maybe I'll buy that lefty, change the nut out and string it up right handed then flip it for $12,000.I can't vouch for the brand name, but you lefties seem to be pretty starved. This is a good lookin' neck-thru lefty that you don't need to take out a mortgage for...

We better keep an eye on G, don't forget, "Cap a Flipper", could be lurking about.
He's going to need 24hr protection.
