I 'Like'd' that. Weird...Heavy is also when yer intestines shoot out yer arse & yer spine snaps in two! THAT, my friend, is when
Yeah... they really need to add another button. One that simply says, "Acknowledged".
Well... this is the first time I've seen a place that actually had these in stock & ready to ship. That's promising!

i adjusted my truss rod in March because the weather started to warm up and the first fret(s) sounded terrible on all strings.
i couldn't see it's back or up-bow, i just gave it a relief and few days later my T-bird was reborn.
now it's October and the weather turned cold, i gave it a relief again... now waiting for the results.
i've never had so sensitive instrument.

So last night I was feeling alright as I was up late and in prime state of mind when I grabbed my Bird and went to plug in and realized that I should probably let some of you that are curious to hear what my Thunderbacker sounds like. Didnt know what to play so threw a drum track down and noodled clean into the 4 track with neck(Rick pickup) on 10 and bridge(Chickenbacker neck pickup) at 4 and tone down at 3, my standard setting for the Bird. For whatever its worth..........here it is. Listen for the Piano at 0:57 [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Ahh Birds.....they are all so sensitive and high maintenance. And Thunderbirds also.
Sounds great. Do you have that string tree to add tension because of the additional travel from nut to tuner for the E and A strings? Not sure how that will end up for my RNR.
Dude!, Dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.................................
Thanks. Actually without research I just assumed the engineering had that tree there for a reason so I kept it there and way she goes.
AFAIK most 7ender style necks will have a string tree because the headstock is not angled, so the tree provides a better break angle.
More aggressive than a Ric, seems. Maybe due to the pickup positions, but it's definitely its own sound: kind of muscular, got just a bit of a brittle element in there. Viable and listenable.
Oh yeah right I forgot that reasoning pfffffftttttt......cough! cough!.....Thanks Dude.
Canadian's got each other's backs
Prog, just add a guitar track or two that.
Ah, true. The luthier doing the work said the tension will change because of the reversed headstock, but he said I may or may not notice a difference and that he could add a string tree if I needed. I figure I could also use different strings to compensate. If need be. Time will tell. Hopefully no more than another week or two.
When I tone down to zero the bottom really changes the sound as you can tell with the tone only at 3 but it gets more Rick like as I tone up to higher numbers.
