Thunderbird Club

Well, SW is sending a new 4x10 cab. I sent them a 30 second clip that featured the buzzy upper right driver and rather than make me hassle with trying to get it fixed, they’re just shipping a new one. Pretty good on them I think. Minor inconvenience is all. I’m guessing there is something loose; but I appreciate not having to mess with it. Stuff happens. That’s why I bought from them in the first place and continue to be a good customer.
Good news, considering! I've never had a problem with SW that wasn't taken care of.
 
From our friend Rob in the NL. The pictures in it are stunning.

Put Chromes and cleaned it up a bit. Still haven't seen any noticeable knicks on this 7 y.o..

I always thought @Chucky Stiletti 's Sunburst NR was quite the looker without its pickguard, so took this one's off, retouched the few marks around the screws and put them back on and this is the result... not sure about it being logo-less, but I'll let it simmer for a few days and see what comes up.

Very nice of you to help the young lady out! Several of us can testify that Thunderbirds are just as fantastic in church as any place else. Kind offer on the PG as well. Thunderbird people are a breed of their own!

What a nice gesture !

As for the PG... that would look striking on an Alpine White Bird, seems to me.

I think it looks great without the PG. Do let it set a while. My '06 below came with a metal PG and TRC. At first I kind of liked it, but was so used to seeing white on Thunderbirds that it started to seem odd. I went back and forth a little and then left the metal on it and now it looks normal and I like it for being different.

You could go with a clear PG on that. It would look stellar.

No route under the PG? Win!!! I'd sell my Gibson for an Epiphone for that reason alone!
