That is reasonable enough. I take a certain pride in using a plastic bow. Carbon fiber might be a good replacement eventually then, for the ornery satisfaction of it. I do not believe the sound coming out of the instrument would be different.
exactly it, iPhone lens... pretty tight there.....drummer using an electronic kit and the keyboards still had to be set up off the stage... happening joint though...
I think most everything about that plane was functioning in a very tiny window, with little margin for error.
The 2 point version fits 60’s Gibson EBs and (as luck would have it)Japanese Dan Armstrong copies:Ok fellow T-birders, I have a question. I am considering putting a Hipshot Supertone bridge on my Epi T-bird Classic Pro. I would order the 3 point version of it, right? I ask because they sell a 2 point version as well. Also, anyone here who installed the Supertone on their Epi's have any issue with the installation? Is it really just remove 3 bolts, remove old bridge and screw on the Supertone with just TWO replacement bolts? Anyone have any problems with the install, i.e. needing shims, etc? Thanks for any advice.
I was having dinner at the pub before our gig last night and noticed this:
Engle played so HOT the Bird caught fire..
totally, you're talking about a beast that took off with minimum fuel and had to be fueled in the air because it would leak fuel on the ground due to the loose skin that would tighten up when it started heating up (friction) in flight....pretty gnarly airplane....it was also good for over mach 3...
I have Hipshot bridges on my EB3, Thunderbird, Midtown, and Jack Casady.
No issue on any of mine*
* I did the installation on the Thunderbird and Midtown. For mundane reasons, the JC and EB3 were done by a tech at my local L&M.
Yes, it is that easy. Adds about 10 minutes to a string change. It comes with both metric and imperial bolts. I test fitted the bolts without the bridge just to ensure I was about to use the right ones.
It really couldn't be easier. If you can change strings and do a set up you can install the bridge. It will take you an extra ten minutes in your maintenance routine. Unless you are an idiot like me and need to spend an extra 15 minutes teaching yourself how to do intonation.
Your welcome.

This one is actually an M-21, with a D-21 drone, one of only two, actually the only one left, the other crashed.
Hard to believe this is 1950's Tech = so bad***
Think about this:
The existence of the SR71 and U2 were both declassified after incidents that meant that the secret could no longer be kept. Same with the B2 and F117. So what else is there for which the existence is still classified?*
* Other than the aliens and flying saucers recovered from Roswell. Maybe I have I've said too much. If you don't hear from me in the next 24 hours I have probably been captured. Don't come looking for me. Just phone 876-5309 and tell Jenny that the icing is on the pumpkin.
funny you say that cause it's easy to confuse your text with the M (Mig)-21 behind it..
Played a few songs with a pick. Should’ve worn a wristband

That Fishbed (Mig-21) was crude to say the least, skin looked like it had been hammered into place, the Phantom parked next to it was super smooth when compared.
Czech markings...uglier but much more rugged and lower maintenance than the F-4...much cheaper also...in a dogfight with equally trained pilots it would be more than a handful for the Phantom...
