Well, it's not a TBird but it's cool in its own way too. Has kind of a punk rock rebel vibe goin on.
Looks like you're a lefty, that's a gear acquisition challenge in just about any brand. We have a few lefty Bird players here maybe one will post a pic. It's an interesting look on a TBird, for some reason it just doesn't look as out of place as a left handed Jazz or Precision. Might be because of the whole Reverse and Non Reverse TBird option thing.

Not by any stretch is it a Tbird. Bottom shelf Ibanez, which is all I can afford due to my orientation (playing left-handed, snarky... you know who you are;)). I also love to tinker and I’m not good at it.
Ironically I’m right handed with just about everything else, it’s been the bane of my musical existence for 30 years playing the “wrong “ way.

That's the bird I lust after, well any bright red one really. Get an Epiphone and flip it, bypass the VVT knobs and you'll have a beast

If we're the "cool kids", it's only because we are unconcerned with what the cool kids are doing;)

There are a number of us here (myself included) that found the club before they found the 'bird. Don't feel like ya gotta run off. Hang around a li'l while & discover why you need a Thunderbird too:):thumbsup:

Well said Fix. We try to be an equal opportunity club here. But you can’t blame us for being somewhat partial...

Lemmy was another local to me, just a couple of miles away but older than me and I never knew him

Whenever a "young" rocker passes, someone always says "They were so young" and I think of Yossarian's line in "Catch 22"-"Yeah, but he's dead and you don't get any older than that":(
