Thunderbird Club

It does. But he cracked me up, thinking it has a center section with wings attached.

Or is the body a three piece? I've just assumed it wasn't, but hadn't really paid attention to that bit.

As far as I can tell, early Korean ones had the big neck. Later Korean ones and all Chinese ones had the narrower neck. It took me a while to find a big one when I got my bolt-on. It is looking more and more alike the next refin project, along with a Dimarzio One at the neck. If you hold your breath, you will turn blue.

I dint think it is that clear cut. My Goth is Chinese and has the wide neck but not baseball bat thick.

I don't recall, but I don't think the FB is "Rosewood." Maybe is is in the rosewood family, but the VPs have some kind of nearly fake looking wood on some.

Nope.

At one time tey definitely claimed rosewood, and I think mine is.

It is very pretty, that's for sure. Don't think I ever played one of those Rics. I don't miss my Ric.

But they did change at some point didn't they and had other types of wood? If so, anyone know when that change was?

Mine are all Rosewood and the last one I saw in a store some months ago, Sam Ash in Westminster, CA, was definitely Rosewood. The funny thing was that the wood on it looked better than the Pau Fero on the VP they had.

I always like the Andertons Thunderbird videos (and there are several of them).

I bought my Hercules stand for my Thunderbird from them.

I was contributing to another thread about song outros that make you turn the volume up and this was one of my suggestions. Their bass player, Floyd London, wielded a Thunderbird and the outro, well, you’ll hear it when it gets there...

Club anthem, anyone?

Met with my drummer and played in our studio for the first time In a long time this past week to knock some rust off. Haven’t seen the guitar players in forever, and the lead singer has been out of state living with in-laws since April. The plan is to maybe get a rehearsal in this next week.
I hear of others starting to gig already?
Thoughts on rehearsal?

Our rehearsal studio is reopening tomorrow, so I'm assuming we'll rehearse in the bext 2 weeks. As for gigs, we had one scheduled for late August that stands at this time.

We have 5 gigs pre booked this month. Not expecting any of them to actually happen.

Per the Guitar dater project:
It’s an early one.
Your guitar was made in
Indonesia

it is no longer available. It looks to be a prime candidate to have refinished in Pelham Blue. New knobs will be ordered.
