I get it, you don't like fancy topwoods. I don't either, but...
Try & imagine that build in a nitro finish. Go ahead. I sure can.
Now-

(Putting on flame suit)

From my experience with TUNE and many other Japanese builds, that Psychedelic Version of a T-Bird would, well, it would crush just about anything Gibson makes, quality-wise tone-wise otherwise.
YMMV
Nothing personal, no disrespect for any Gibson/Epiphone fan-atics,, but I stand pat on that!

OK, proceed to bash....

Why would you go into a "club" with a snarky attitude like this? Hm. Needy I guess. Sad.

Lol...

A while before your surgery, you showed us a pic of a neck-thru WIP. Is it too soon to ask if there's an update?

Thanks for asking! Just about ready for finishing. I'm doing tests for a jade burst transparent stain. The top has some very slight flame, not sure how it will turn out...could end up being 'Lame Maple'.

Next time a troll like that starts posting like that in the club, I think it would be best not commenting and just ignore the comments - No need to fuel the fire. He obviously achieved what he came for: namely stirring up things.

Got to play my first vintage thunderbird today! A beautiful bicentennial with headstock repair and all. I didn't get a chance to plug it in but it played like a dream and resonated like no other (probably helped that it was HUGE). Much lighter than I was expecting and very comfortable. Needless to say I fell in love and need to start up a Thunderbird fund ;)

And the race is on. Who gets a `bird first? @JJR58 or @Grapevine921

Yeah, apologies for waking it up. It was early (same as "It was late"!).

Need more details! What kind of fest? How big a crowd? How long did ya get ta play? Expiring minds want to know!

Well, twist my arm why don't cha'......;)

It was the annual Second Street Festival in Philadelphia. I has been going on about 15 years now and happens each year on the first Sunday in August.

2nd Street Festival

It is three stages over a couple of city blocks. They run bands at each stage from about 1PM -10PM. Lots of food and drink. They paid us really well (shocking, for original music!) and treated us like the rock stars we aren't. It was awesome.

About 40,000 people wander around through out the day so its hard to get a gauge on how many people actually watched us. For me it was just a treat to play on a stage and use a FOH sound system where you could hear everything clearly! I am a simple man.......:woot:

I think you need more pedals or a smaller pedal board. :)

Nice! I didn't know you did neck-throughs.

There were a million different ways you could have worded EVERY post you made that would not have sounded so condescending, and more intelligent. It's like if your friend comes over and you're showing him your nice factory style restored muscle car and he says "Man my Nissan/Toyota/etc. would kick it's @$$" well whether it's true or not is unknown because he doesn't show you a time slip or dyno sheet, just that he's "put a lot of money in it" and "your car sucks"

If you were more down-to-Earth with your posts we could have had a half decent conversation.

I know we said go radio silent but that had to be said
