Ah, so beautiful.
Edit: I meant the amp, but yeah those too.

Do you know how thick that pickup ring is? I was curious how thick they are compared to the pickguard.
Like I say, I’m wanting another one. Depending on what comes out this year....

I likely, were the one with chromey goodness mine I'd be sorely tempted to exchange the jack and tone knob positions, I think Gibson could have sold quite a few more of these had they done them up a nicely as yours.
exactly half, just measured. ring is 1 mm pg 2 mm. not the stock pg, had it made to accommodate the narrower 70's sidewinders but it's just like the stock 3 ply with the exception of the decal vs engraving..
Thanks. Wow, 1mm is thinner than I was expecting.
Does anyone have the specs on or a source for Thunderbird pickguard screws? I seem to be missing one of those.
Not surprised the big lytic has acne.
hums to all hell...
I bought mine, for the Classic Pro, from Philadelphia Luthier via their eBay store:
#3 X 3/8" (9.5mm) Pickguard/Backplate screws for Gibson guitars Qty 25 - Chrome | eBay

You're welcome!
And just ftr, that's also where I got my chrome pickup covers & rings, in case anyone's looking for a source for those.
The thing I still find impossible to source is replacement black truss rod cover screws. I'm pretty sure they're #2 x 1/4", flat Phillips head.You're welcome!

These are an 1/8" longer but the price is right and the 1/8" won't make any difference, IMO.
#2 x 3/8 inch Black Coated Phillips Flat Head Screws
They're only 4 cents each but their cheapest shipping is $6 regardless of quantity it seems. I tried it with 3 screws and 50 screws. Same shipping cost.
