Thunderbird Club

Ahhh Parkland, when my father moved to the west side of the state in '68 (after he and my mom split up) he bought a house on Golden Given Road, near Brookdale Golf course.
You probably don't want to hear that Brookdale Golf Course has been sold and is slated to be developed into houses, huh? :thumbsdown: :sour:
 
No. The only Epi nuts that are that wide are older bolt-on Thunderbirds, so far as I know. The rest are 1.5 like a Gibson.

I had the impression he was asking about the plain Epiphone Thunderbird IV- the basic bolt-on model. AFAIK, they are all 1.73". My 2012 is 1.73" and Epi still lists those on their site as 1.73" . But yes, it seems all the other Thunderbirds (well, the REAL ones, can't speak to the "non-reverse" reverse models 8^) are 1.5" - PRO, Custom Pro, Vintage Pro, ???

Good afternoon my Queen! The Brookdale course sounds familiar, but I am drawing a blank as to it's locale. I fondly remember spending time at the little park at Spanaway Lake. Some of us would take books and pretend to study. I think whatever studying was being done involved Olde English and the fairer sex. Many years ago to be certain. I heard from a sister that there was some talk of developing the North Shore golf course into housing or apartments or something as well. It sounds like that area is still growing rapidly. Snowing and slick in Spokane, sending the folks home early. I am looking forward to the gig tomorrow night, first time playing out since June. Have a good evening everyone.

:roflmao:..are you implying NRs aren't "REAL" T-Birds?....if so, that'd be like saying the couple to the right aren't REAL Precisions...

Yeah, but they're everywhere.

When I was a kid, my family went on summer vacation by car and comic books were what keep us occupied while on the road. "Little Dot" was one of them, along with "Archie", "Richie Rich", "Betty & Veronica", "Lu-Lu" and "Herbie" (Popnecker).

Yes to all of those. Plus Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck, etc.
