Thunderbird Club

[JJR58]

I would prefer a reverse, but that one would do in a pinch.

I'm partial to a reverse as well. I really dig both designs.

Just give me a two pick up version in that faded Inverness. Or whatever the hell that color is.

That image shows the headstock with masking tape where the truss rod is supposed to be, and where the angled headstock will start, according to the build thread.

And for the fretboard. (from memory)

Well, you bunch of enablers, I keep wondering about a bridge cover now.

Anyone got a pic of 2011 ish in vsb with the cover over a 3 point ?

I suppose something along the likes of this. Not a VSB, but you get the drift.

What is it about the covers that's so appealing? I don't get it.

@dukeorock, the clip of Courting is amazing. So vibey and full of emotion.

I think you need to pitch that to David Lynch.

That would be nice

That’s seriously amazing!

I think some of that stuff looks pretty cool, but I wouldn’t keep it on the bass either

It’s a subjective sort of thing I suppose. I love them myself, but not good enough to play with them on. But a bridge cover, yeah. There’s a cool factor. It’ll work on this.

 

[JJR58]

Ok. Maybe no covers is a good thing.....

Besides a good burrito, nothing beats a decked out '67 NR.
I wouldn't really know. i have yet to own a Gibson Thunderbird in any form.

Jeez! Do they ALL crack around that screw?

That's identical to mine-including the crack around the upper horn PG screw.

Nope! Needs a bridge cover(that should be my signature) I hope y'all know I'm not serious. I like 'em but they're not for everyone.

I THINK that's Kelly green.?..?.

I went Googling. According to pix I saw that IS Kelly Green, Inverness is lighter. 'Course that might be "roadworn"

My you answered your own question.

Well, if it hadn't been a looong day, I'd have googled first but I always have been bass-ackwards.

Looks like you had to move the tailpiece up closer to the bridge?
