Thunderbird Club

I had a quick look at the Greco truss cover. I’m pretty sure the logo isn’t a font, so I’ll have to figure out how to recreate it. It might take a little while, but I’ll make it happen.
That's so cool of you. I do have a Greco truss rod cover on one of my other Greco basses and could scan a copy for you if that would help. It would provide the exact template for the cover and you might be able to get a close match on size and orientation of the Greco word mark. Let me know if that helps and PM me with the price you feel is fair for the work, I'm not looking for freebies.

Actually, not entirely true. All damage was done in the 48 years. Not all damage was done by me. Initial HS damage caused by some little hellions running through the band 'area'(no stage)on a break at a wedding reception. Parents were "connected"; didn't offer to pay for anything or even apologize for their devil's spawn behavior. :banghead::mad:
They were members of the Mothers And Fathers International Association. 'Course we weren't s'posed to know that. ;),;),nudge, nudge
 
Noted! Since you said pretty please...
I'd kill for a properly done NR pickguard with the Thunderbird logo "properly" oriented.

What would be so cool would be parchment/black/parchment with the Thunderbird logo cut through the first parchment layer so it's showing through in black. There's gotta be a way to do that.

Karma, man. Karma. Maybe your karma will even run over their dogma.

An engraver should be able to do that for you

Here's my 2013 PB NR getting a proper workout last Friday night up in Bay City. The show was a huge success in excitement and enthusiasm from the crowd. I have two sons in this band and while my oldest son played bass in a previous version of this band, he's now back on rhythm where he should be. Steve(21) the bass player was a great find for the band and he's doing a great job.

Here's a couple of pics of my boys, Dom on rhythm(19) and Dave on drums(15) and the last pic is of Darren(15) the lead guitarist.
