Gut it, split it, brine it and smoke it, eat it
Get her drunk.
How do ya keep 'em lit?
yeah but they throw them on the toaster oven grill over there. Is that just to warm them up?
Ive never smoked them that way before. If I try and it works I will share that here.Yes they're hot smoked so they are actually cooked but then reheated before eating, you can have them cold, they make nice pate
Dip them in petrol, gasoline, they burn good then
I was thinking of slicing, dicing and hot kniving.Dip them in petrol, gasoline, they burn good then

It points out a couple of things - one, that a gen1 T-bird even identically reversed/flipped doesn't look anything like a Fender, (which they were sued over and forced to flip) and two, that the late 60's gen2 T-bird design is a reverse-reference at best to it's early sibling and in Fenders logic should have looked more like a Fender than the gen1 bird.
So, in effect a "double reverse"?

I know I'm biased but the bird is streets ahead
Back on kippers, this is where I used to work, the shop and the smoking sheds around the back

If you like, or like I said, a "reversed reverse". (double negative) I never use the reverse/non-reverse terminology (rather gen1 & gen 2) as the original T-bird was not called "reversed" until it was later reversed to produce the "non-reverse"
... always seemed like a convoluted way referring to them for me.
yeah that topic keeps coming up over and over. around here folks call me the guy with the reverse Firebird bassIf you like, or like I said, a "revered reverse". I never use the reverse/non-reverse terminology (rather gen1 & gen 2) as the original T-bird was not called "reversed" until it was later reversed to produce the "non-reverse"
Back to the Greco, the price seems high taking into account the fact that you can get a 2013 NR for about the same unless I'm missing something..
Seems to me that folks in this club with much more non Gibson T-Bird experience than I mention Greco pickups with a whole lot of reverence..
