Black or Gold Top work for me. Let the enabling begin, oh wait, it never stopped.

Two words, second one is off

If I could afford it I would but with no income I can only do one type at a time

So it's not really a question of "which one do I get?". It's a question of "which one do I get first?"

Are there any tuners with lollipos or clverleafs that fit on the headstock of a 2012 Thunderbird? One of my tuners makes a strange rattling noise when I play the open E-string....

Actually, i think HipShot makes Lollipops that'll fit. Last i checked any way.

I'm surprised that the hot rod shop is cheaper than the pro-refinisher. Warmoth has a clear advantage in this scenario, but between the 2 custom shops, I wouldn't hesitate to use the hot rod shop. I think it'd be completely badass to have a Thunderbird dolled up with a finish reminiscent of customized fuel tank on a motorcycle

They probably have flakes on the shelf, as they probably use it a LOT more often than a guitar refinisher.

Hipshot has some, I don't recall the model number though, you may have to contact them directly.

Hipshot Lics 3/8” fit perfectly

Have you tried tightening the mounting screw and the tuner head screw?

Good question.
Until you lot started posting pics of Les Pauls again this morning I was thinking of a couple of posh birds. Mahogany body and through neck but with the face of the body veneered in Macassar Ebony finished with a black burst to hide the veneer edge. Gold hardware, bound neck worth real MOP inlay. Now you’ve got me off on a black Les Paul again

Sounds pretty cool though - LP or not...

Since there aren't any strings, is that for air bass?

Yes. Hipshot makes them. They are a special smaller cloverleaf that doesn't overlap on a modern Thunderbird's headstock.

[edit] I'm slow! Everyone else already beat me to it.

Those Gibson LP's are really really nice...

Not buying any new basses for a while - So will have to settle with this bad boy for the time being..

Sod..?

Alternatively, if you can pop off the little round backplate, you could get to tighten the tension screw inside.

Actually bought this bass to make an 8-string conversion.

If would be very easy to swab the bridge for a Schaller 3D 8-string bridge, and plugging the original tuner holes and drilling new ones should be a fairly easy job to do as well... But I kinda like it as it is...

l


















Whatever the final tab is, if it sucks,you're stuck with a club.

You meant the Thunderbird club right? Just checkin'..

These have been here before but since it's Thunderbird Thursday...... Not sure how the LPB25 snuck in there. There's no charge for the garage door.
