Looks great!!!

It's actually even prettier than I dreamed!

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Looks fantastic! Congrats!

I've heard of people getting basses in delivered..... Glad to see it actually happens.

Forget something?

Like footwear?

Footwear, like a lot of clothing, is severely over-rated. It has its place, but not indoors in Texas outside of the rare winter we get here. Not even outdoors when I can help it.

You're next!

Never mind the pictures. Plug in a THUNDERBIRD and crank it so that we can all hear it!

Alas, I have only the Rumble 100 so even the neighbors can't hear me with the windows shut. (Really big lots here.) Otherwise you'd have heard me testing out the new CP around 15:45 CDT.

The Beatles could rock as heavy as anyone. HS, Birthday, Yer Blues, She’s So Heavy. Toss in I’m Down from ‘65. It was too heavy to put on an album. But in our day, it was all just rock -n-roll. Labels came later. But the shift that took place from ‘67 to ‘69 on both sides of the pond is fascinating.

Yeah, the exposure to the full swath of rock and roll (or anything new with a beat) was one of the beauties of that era. Jimi, Beatles, Carpenters, Stones, Temptations, James Brown, John Denver, Jim Croce, Supremes, Sabbath, Purple, Grass Roots, etc. All on one station. You could find stations or shows that emphasized subsets if you leaned more one direction. <3

It turned out great! (I’m the guy on here with a bit of a fetish for blue.)

I really dig most blues, especially the brighter and the deeper blues.
That's true whether we're talking light, paint, or music.

You're not the only one. But i'd push it into Inverness Green territory myself.

I like these old SG Juniors. Hence my use of the reference.

I know. I’ve been listening to Steppenwolf’s first album. Where did that come from?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Early steppenwolf still gets my motor running.
I remember in junior high, a band at a sock hop couldn't play Sookie Sookie because someone was convinced they were really saying, "S*ck me, s*ck me, Sue." And of course the Pusher got pushback. Monster never did (at least that I heard of around Augusta), which was wild.

Don't forget Helter Skelter!

That was first in MCF's list, but only the initials: "HS"

John Kay has a great story about being threatened with arrest if he sang the words “God damn” at a concert, so he didn’t and the audience sang it at the top of their lungs.

That’s sweet! If you can’t get it done with that guitar... My buddy had a cherry Melody Maker with that bridge (65?)

Yeah, they handled that one well.

Very cool, congrats. This is what I was saying about the fretboard color btw, curious color.

Looks like it settled and is at home! Now that we have the reveal, we need to get to strings. What's the plan there?

 

[BC Blackmur]

Happy Thunderbird Thursday!

A little red light brings out the burst

Is this the final, black ‘77 that @KingFace was searching for?
