NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
That is NOT a Thunderbird - That is a coffe table with Thunderbird style pickups
Really?!?!
Coffee Table?!?!
Your thunderbird is a girly thunderbird
My lean and trim Thunderbird is a manly Thunderbird
It will eat your thunderbird for lunch, and twice on Sunday
Prepare to be consumed, Twice.

Sorry for checking in so late guys. Been busy.
Actually my website is not the only place you can buy the book.
www.elderly.com also has it. And they are in the USA.
(but if you want an autographed copy, you'd have to buy it via me)
Let me know if you gave any questions GonePlaid.
Thx. I found that site after posting.

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!
If you built one and played like a lap steel,you'd have a place for a drink.
I'll stick with the flying monkeys.

I dig it. Kinda out of my wheelhouse, but after giving your build thread a look. I'm impressed.
You doing some oil on canvas with that?
I like my daleks like I like my rock - classic.

Nope.... Strictly coffee table, although It could be turned into a NR T-bird apparently...

My apologies for failing to get those measurements to you. I put the string change off until after I get settled in to the new digs...
Look beautiful. But I like fancy woods, so what do I know. Is that Koa or is it flamed walnut?
Would love to see the full instrument.
Flamed Walnut.

No problem. I'll post my findings today and it might help you decide to use the Cobalts on the bird or not.
Don't make me come over there!
EERRRRrrrmmmm...........
I was on a 300 mile club drive yesterday (twisty roads, wine tasting and good eats). Apparently while I was on the road, this thread went in the gutter! LOL
Were you able to make three laps around the tuning posts on the VP?
Short answer - nope!
Long answer with frustrating reasons will be in the formal review.
