Just being cheeky... Thunderbirds look cool, so I'm making a snarky quip about looks over function!

I thought that might be your point, but I couldn't imagine such heresy right here in the heartland of thunderbirds!
Fortunately I have always found them really comfy to play, though I tune down so that the 'standard' tuning notes are around the 5th fret, which feels more natural with the really long neck.
I have a leaning toward irreverence, which is generally pretty well/patiently received around here, and why I don't spend a lot of time in the "general population"!
No offense bro, ever, is meant.

Ergos are why I keep coming back to Thunderbirds, oddly enough. I like the 'Bird shape well enough that I have a Telebird project in the works. One of these days, when I get my thumbs out and things settle down a bit, it will be a green sparkle Telecaster with a Firebird shaped body.
The bad influence is starting to spill over... my guitarist just traded for a VSB Firebird to go with his Les Paul.

There are basses, and there are Thunderbirds!

That's not being a bad influence, Mike. It's spreading little points of truth and light in a dark, miserable world. I'm not opinionated, either. That's a fact, not and opinion.
Well you could... but he ain't gonna answer you.

Once you have a couple 'Birds, they start to breed when you aren't looking. Then you will find yourself with a whole flock of 'em. Not that it's bad...
In case anyone's interested, I spotted a 2012/2013 Pelham Non Reverse at Kebo's while birdwatching earlier: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

There's the reason you need. Am I missing something?
