Thunderbird Club

Earholes, it lacks earholes. But, you can eat bacon with it on.

...or even cold fried chicken

not sure what the thunderbird club is all about but im thinking i can qualify for membership and would be honered to be a part of it .. especially if there are free stickerz

Stickerz! We dont need no stinkin stickerz!
(...but if you find some free ones I'll take one too)

Gorgeous! Is that chickenhead a press-on?

That is a Goth. It has a switched out pickguard. It came from the factory looking like the pic below. They are nice basses. It is hard to tell the condition from the pics. Going rate in SoCal for those in decent shape is $200 to $250 if no case. $300 would have to be excellent condition. Price does vary depending on where you are. They are discontinued as of this year, but there are a lot of them around. I’ve encountered several that were “played hard.” Check it carefully if you decide to go for it.

Thanks! Are those original black pickguards available anywhere? With no case and non-original pickguard the guy is willing to let it go for $250. I'm going to take a look at it.

I had to return the used Epi tobacco sunburst VP bought on Reverb last week, due to cracks at the headstock. :-(
This morning, Sweetwater emailed that they had a new one in stock...I was powerless to resist..

There was until Covid hit. This seller in Singapore had all types of Tbird PGs, including Goth, for $40.00 a pop. Some of us bought a few last December. They took about two weeks to arrive and are decent quality. As of today, he isn’t listing any and his store is nothing like it was before. You might try contacting him to find if/when he’ll have them again.

True to his word, the North Carolina seller of the Ebony VP I bought Sunday shipped it Monday AM. It was in Kentucky as of yesterday per UPS. It was due here next Monday. Now all I know is that it’s delayed and that they can’t, or won’t tell me anything else. Ugh.

Thanks! I appreciate the education!

Cavity from my '64 Thunderbird. Now sure how much is original or been worked on. But is sounds so good I don't care.

Or more. It’s a siren call. May need to have someone chain your checking and credit accounts.

Nice!
The bass isn’t bad, either

Upon closer inspection - it's a 6-string guitar. The 4 bobbles on the lower hs threw me off. However, it is still a "'bird".

It’s a prop, and huge.

Anything for "effect" - just thought she was very small...

I particularly like this one, as the black of the sunburst is more of a gradual fade than many of the others that I’ve seen. You can really see what I mean in this picture of the back
