Thunderbird Club

Bummer. So the 2014 Epiphones don’t have the wider nut width? Hard to tell from pics online but this 2014 I’m looking at appears to have the wider nut width.

If you can't measure it, ask the seller. What I know is not 100% reliable all the time.

On the bench today. Extended cutaway Fenderbird I started building about 10 years ago. This was a prototype, I was going to offer bodies and complete builds but I got distracted along the way. At one time I had all the parts for it, looks like I'll be ordering a pair of Thunderbuckers, some 70's style tuners and other bits and pieces. Still working on the finish, did some leveling with 1200 wet paper. Lots of mistakes on this one but once assembled you can't see them.View attachment 3413992 View attachment 3413993 View attachment 3413997

I would play that, sir. Glad you're getting around to it!

Did somebody menyion Elvis? My latest addition to my music room .

Did you see the HBO doc The Searcher? I thought it was a classy documentary. They didn't get into anything 'controversial' - it was about his love of music and that's it. Loved it.

Keep yours. My 72 year old grandmother (back in’85) had one like this. I came across it the other day and man, oh man, do I want it.

How does it so easily go back to cars here? Uff, nevermind.
G strings and thongs are so much better.

if that bass could only talk....

We would all be horrified at the stories it told after it finished screaming...

I don't know what's under the cover but he should tell us more about the frilly white bed pan cover he has in the book shelf.

One thing at a time... I am also now interested in the number of club members that have artisanal SD TVs

And... Happy Limerick Day !

There was a Thunderbird club,
Many notes, the members could flub.
No Fenders allowed,
I'll get ahemed for saying ploughed.
The Queen, none of us would snub.

G strings and thongs on the floorboards of muscle cars are so much better.

What is the main difference with the Vintage Pro T Birds versus the standard IV I have now? The new pickups? They are the same pickups from the Embassy Pro which I may get instead because it’s got the wider nut width than the VP.

Pickups, neck-thru, two piece bridge. The VP also has an 1 1/2" nut but is a bit deeper than a Gibson Bird.

Also a larger headstock, right?

I bet Epi/Gibson T-bird hs's are all over the place size and contour related. (probably pitch too)

Well I think that the VP is going back to the older design with the larger headstock.

Jeez, isn't Mother's Day enough for today? The cat has her own gmail account and sends my wife an email on Mother's Day and her birthday every year.

It’s Monday here
