Thunderbird Club

[Gaolee]

Like a good Scotch.

Hmmm... Speaking of which...

 

[Gaolee]

I’m just gonna go rogue and get the incoming Ebony (now due 06/09) refinished.

PB?

 

[Gaolee]

who cares? .......

You do! Less competition for NRs.

 

[MCF]

PB?

You betcha.

 

[Nocturnal]

gorgeous, but tobacco burst. A true sunburst is yellowish in the center, then red, then black (or dark brown?)

Wait. You think?

Miles cleared it up for me. I do NOT have a sunburt. I have a tobacco burst.

Under the current situation, I'm never too certain what day it is. Plus it's been raining like crazy here for the past few days. That being said, a pic from a sunny day:

Burgundy Mist Metallic with a Thunderbird inlay at the 12th fret..

Abalone Thunderbird inlay at 12 please

My only 'Burst. Showing some (evidently rare) Greco love!

Sorry. I can get pedantic. 8^/
I have always wanted a true sunburst bird. If I turn the BO IV into a project instead of just selling, it's going to be really togh to pick between a bright sunburst and a metalflake red or purple.

Plus now I want a disco ball bird as well. Thanks, KT.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

yes, I do !



Abalone Thunderbird inlay at 12 please

Abalone, not MOTS?

 

[Chucky Stiletti]

Amp porn!

Description
Because there are few opportunities play the fret mountains However I think that there is a warp because there is a slight deviation in the tuning at the open string and the 12th fret. I am sure about warpage personally so I recommend it collectors and those who can mess around with the neck

I know I don't get to play the fret mountains NEARLY enough.

I know not MOTS, but I could be persuaded to a Paua shell Thunderbird

looks to be in VGC - the most distinctive difference is the more pointed 'beak' of the hs shape

least played fret mountains call need for mess around the neck excessively
