I have a 2013 EB like yours, and it's what convinced me that I really needed a 2015 Thunderbird. It's amazing what you can get out of those pickups. Having both convinced me that wood does make a difference. The mahogany 'Bird is just a bit darker than the ash and maple EB. And, I have found that you have to lower the pickups as far as you can or they will overwhelm the amp and everything else. The magnets in those things could lift a Buick.
Oh, my goodness. I just wet my pants!!! What a car.I thought, since there's a lot of talk about 1st/high school cars, I'd join in the nostalgia-talk
This isn't my actual car, no digital pics of it (and the film ones are....maybe (probably) in my storage unit? But this is mostly close, but prettier than mine was. It was one of the "too loud" cars that I drove for years. Loved that car!

I’m too much of a neat freak with my equipment. My fly fishing gear is well used, 20 to 30 years old but still looks new. I clean frets and fretboards annually, and keep everything clean even though every bass is out of its case and within easy reach to play.
My ‘15, my NR and the recently acquired short scale are my definition of perfection.
Are we ever going to get a pic of the two of you?
regarded as a weak arsed poor imitation of coke & Pepsi. But what do we know? We call 7up and Sprite (plus Leeds & Schweppes versions).....
Eeyeech!I'll see your clean and beautifully maintained fret board and raise you with this skanky mess

I kinda preferred the Plymouth version with the big square taillights but I wouldn't refuse one of those.Love those!
My dad always hated that I loved Mopar instead of Generic Motors, but he helped with all the ones I had over the years anyways
I found some old pics, of a time when mine was sorta in flux paint-wise, after getting some body work done (it was re-done back to "Petty Blue" after). Maybe '92 - '93?
The top pic was at my dad's house in TN, the other two were south GA, I think. I had a friend, she had moved with her family to.....Waycross? maybe?

*sigh*.... I'm really starting to miss that car now
Nope. Just put 50-105 EBCF's on mine. Smooth as glass. And the old ones I put on the EB-0 are smoother than they were after wiping them down with alcohol(rubbing, that is). No Jameson was harmed.You part of the "Princess Fingers' bunch too?
An old memory just came back to me: a guitarist I played alongside back in 69-70 had an orange extended nose "Super Bird"(or whatever it was called)with the big@$$ spoiler on the back.
BTW, just one night, but so far liking the[stuff]outta the 50-105s on the Thunderbird. Had to keep it down to a low roar on the jazz gig, but looking forward to letting them 'sing', which I know they're gonna.
