Thunderbird Club

[PillO]

Could anyone tell me if the strings on the vintage model epiphones sit closer to the body than the bolt on epi's, or even regular gibson models? It may be a trick of the camera but, the ones with that vintage chrome bridge always appear that way to me.

Also, has anyone on here cut their headstock down and converted it to a 2x2? That would reduce neck dive, especially with light tuners. Just day dreaming here.

I vaguely remember someone around here doing that to an oil finish Pro-IV. Lopped off about half the headstock and moved two tuners to the treble side.

Uhhhhh, OK?

Chocolate chip?

Don't you mean chocolate fry?

Weird logo on what would be an aftermarket PG. Obviously not the original knobs.

If I was to get it, I'd be getting another custom PG anyway and a bridge cover, of course.

I would have promptly flushed that from my brain. I try to forget unpleasantries.

Biscuits are served with butter, or gravy. Try THAT with a cookie!

Scones and gravy? Fie sir! Have you taken leave of your senses?

Biscuits and sausage gravy. Mmmmmmm. Fine Southern fare anytime.

yeah, that usage of ‘biscuit’ always baffles me.

bit like ‘peanut butter & jelly sandwich’ when I was a kid

It's in a different league.

It looks so good, sadly my days of eating carbs at that level are now past, I stare at them longingly, like a neutered dog looking out a window.

I went ahead and ordered the Seymour Duncan SSB-4s.

250k or 500k pots? I’m guessing 250?

Duncan’s site doesn’t specify.


I also ordered a set of Bill Lawrence L500’s for the project after this one....

I have that strap in the pebble finish. Not my main strap, but one I use on Thunderbirds at times.

MCF- I've been called for jury duty (circuit). Anything short of soiling myself to seem unfit? I'm hoping I can get a delay as it's not a good time due to a new cmte I chair to deal with a sticky issue.

If some of the rest of you chime in I'm sure it's going to be very interesting.

I’d go with 500K for maximum brightness.

If you don’t mind sounding dumb, say something like “they wouldn’t have gotten charged if they weren’t guilty”
