The girl has been out of town for a few days, so I’ve been getting my rockumentary time in. Movies so far.
Gimme Danger- Jim Jarmusch doc on the Stooges. Highly recommended.
Salad Days- only if you’re into DC punk ala Bad Brains, Minor Threat, Scream, etc. It just so happens I am
Upside Down- the story of Creation records. Arguably the coolest indie label in the 80’s-90’s. Recommended!
All 3 on Amazon Prime

I am not a number. I am FREEBIRD!
YES! My mind immediately went there at "I am not a number!" It always does. (I bough the box set about a year ago. I hadn't seen the series since it came out on TV the first time, but I remembered a scary amount of it.)
But your ending was priceless. Complete with Thunderbird content. You are my hero.
Just get in the other side!

It's Florida. Keep that in mind.
Actually the knobs work better for me like that, good for doing "volume swells" it's also more comfortable & balanced while sitting. Another unexpected benefit is the distance between the nut & tuning heads is now longer for the lower strings which seems to add a bit more sustain, again I'm down right enlightened...it's the BEST tone EVER & certainly lives up to her name in regards to THUNDER!!
Not a “Thunder”bird, but pretty damn cool IMO.
My late friend’s brother texted last night to ask if I’d help him authenticate and come up with a value for this:
Apparently he took it to a luthier a few years ago, the guy checked the pot codes, offered him a large sum and told him others would probably pay more.
This spooked buddy, so he just held onto it. Now he wants to put it on consignment.
He’ll bring it over and I’ll take some high res pics. Please pass on any links you think might be helpful for researching it.

Elderly Instruments. My last experience with them was very positive, they helped me with an Ampeg SSUB bass I found locally that had been through several garage/spraycan mods. Turns out it was totally salvageable.

You might want to give Rudy's Music a shout. I know they're here on the east. But worth calling them.
What year is it?

Emerald City Guitars in Seattle generally seem to know what they are doing. They always have some obscenely expensive vintage guitars and some really weird stuff.
There are a handful of NR Firebird Is on Reverb, but no IIIs with three pickups.

I don’t know yet. Can’t wait to see it!
