Thunderbird Club

[catcauphonic]

Got an Arctic White classic pro yesterday. I honestly have to say I love this color. Bass just spoke to me, so had to have it.View attachment 3220538

Woooo, congrats!

Gotta get my mitts on one of these for a l'il test drive before eventually deciding if I need either this, or the VP, in Arctic White drool


BTW... my very first job was working the deep fryer at my uncles drive-in in Wilkes Barre, PA back in the mid 80's. From that station I could see the bottom half of every movie that played that summer. Sadly, that drive-in is as long gone as he is, and a Wal-Mart now stands on those grounds

Mind altering drugs are bad when posting on Reverb. A 1990 for a Bicentennial price? So it has been in the closet. It's still a 1990 reissue.

Or am I missing something here?

And it’s not even white or red or something desirable/uncommon

$2500 for the OHSC, $500 for the bass.

Summer of '63 I worked at a resort that had its own drive-in theater at Lake Waullenpaupack. The people that owned it lived 3 doors east of us in Miami during the winter.

It still looks great. If it plays well, a few holes just don't matter. It looks like a Hipshot bridge and the tuners are probably Hipshot as well. That's a pretty good change to make if you are going to change anything.

@Nocturnal , many happy encores!

No, it's absurd. First it's "New Old Stock". Then it's used but mint. Except for some blemishes. Blems? really? Or dings and scrapes? I don't trust anything in that listing at this point, except that the seller wants three grand for it. Whatever it is.

Nice! It’s much more fun if you’re not worried about scratches

Seller has the good sense to have a shoe in many of the shots...

Hey; I keep forgetting to get on here and post some pictures. Finally got around to taking them last night. I took a few but I figure I probably shouldn't spam them off the bat.

Thanks for the posts guys, I'm happy to add you both to the club if you like. Sorry I'm a little absent this week, I'm pretty busy with the new job/routine, things will get better over the next week or so.

Happy Birthday @Nocturnal hope it was a good one Andy!
