I think the green is close to genuine-looking retro.
Green or red for me.
The almond is too close to fleshtone. Could be good for playing naked, but better check the accessories for color coordination.

I’m liking the green. Glad they’re back. The bridge alignment issue they had on some of the previous ones is hopefully sorted. Also hoped for rosewood FB, but the Pau Fero should be ok.

According to a previously(prematurely)released statement, yes. The already mentioned smoked almond metallic, and a 'black' (I don't recall the name).

"Graphite Black"-slightly metallic. Sorta. Maybe.
The red is "Sparkling Burgundy"; the green is "Wanderlust Green Metallic".(Epi's names for the finishes-I've seen better pics)
ADDENDUM: These are tempting, but I'm willing to wait and see if the long awaited Epi NR, RI, VP, TBII/IV in _________ finishes actually happens in my lifetime.

Dangerbird? I think you would be a great fit there. Anyway, when you get some shows booked, please post the schedule here so some of us can see them.

You know, I don't know why I didn't think of them, I used to walk by their main office all the time when I lived in Silver Lake. And will do!

Ugh. Found a great price on a like new black Supertone 3pt. By the time I could react, it was sold. Good news is, I checked a .130 CF against the Supertone on my CP, and it fits fine.

In other news, here's a tee shirt from work a couple of years ago. While it's more of a Firebird, I really dig it and think it would look great on a Thunderbird PG.

Cirrus provides a monthly concert (daily during SXSW) in the main US and UK offices, and puts out a tee early each year with the concerts from the previous year on the back. Just one of many reasons Cirrus won the Austin Statesman #1 Great Place to Work poll this year, and placed quite highly in the Forbes Best Places to Work (in the world).
Still lobbying for a Thunderbird on out Hall of fame wall (where we commemorate big milestones in chip sales with guitars; I convinced them to start adding basse with the guitars, and we have our first bass - a Fender - on the wall now!)

That’s what we used to call the Thunderchicken on a Transam hood:

For some of us, playing naked is a good way to clear out an audience. So, looks like that's a color to be avoided.
