That was great. Especially at the end for us older folks.

Oooh, that is nice. The black Elrick J they have is no slouch either.

Not really having anything to do with Thunderbirds but what I did on Christmas was draw this page for my ongoing TMNT fan comic, which accurately described a boxing day occurrence.

I've been meaning to buy myself a real guitar for years, never got around to it. The passing of Leslie West and Luther Grosvenor's birthday seem to have been enough impetus for me to purchase this Les Paul Jr. The Lp Jr. is my favorite guitar I love it's raw raunchy tone. Not a Thunderbird but it is a Gibson.

Yeah, I hear you, I have been playing el-cheapo guitars for years and this year I wanted something fancy and so I made a KILLER deal on THIS.

Thanks man, so does your Junior. I owned a Cherry Red one in 2009, which I shouldn't have sold.
Happy Boxing day everyone, just picked this up off eBay!

I had one of those! Might still have it tucked away somewhere.
I guess you mean it couples to the power supply transformer?
Does this also apply to the SVT-CL?
Thank you kind sir.
I was given coal too.
It's a Christmas miracle! The RNR has finally come home. Still waiting for the pickguard, but here you go.

Good question. Certainly won't affect playability. I need to raise the pickups. Maybe change out the pots since they're now backwards. Also weird that the order of tuners is reversed. I instinctively started turning the G when I meant to turn the E.
The bass weighs 8 lbs. exactly.
Yeah I’ve been mostly lucky, but I always have a backup bass. And I always carry an MB200.
