Thunderbird Club

[Mosstone]

Yeah, I was thinking that I could refinish just the neck & neck thru portions on the sunburst.



Yup. Prob too much to do for my skill set. Unless I found an empty (unloaded?) body for cheap cheap cheap to start from. Hmmm.

Looking unlikely.

Keep your eye out on eBay. Last winter, before I bought my Classic IV, I saw a lot of Classics and Pros with "repair issues" - the famous 1"+ crack at the nut issue, mostly. Easy enough to fix and they were going for $125 - $150. They were all auctions, though (no BINs). I considered grabbing one a couple of times, but I always ended up forgetting about it until after the auction ended.

Go Sox!

I have a Red Sox sticker on my TBird case.

And today my socks have red stripes on them.

So. How about them Red Sox, huh?

Wish I could say my Red Vee went well this year... But alas no.
Although their feeder team won the NSW Comp wearing all red jerseys and socks...

I might have to jump on the Sox bandwagon this year!

Not to interrupt the sports talk and whatnot... but what's the story with the extra knob here on Mike Watt's Non Reverse Thunderbird (II?) here:

Saw one of the natural finish PRO IVs in ABH Pitt St @ the weekend (a little Aria 80s for my taste). Doesn't have the gloss finish like my trans-black. If you want to turn one into a classic you'll need to fill some potholes. The controls are very close together on the stock config, which is why the V-V ended up mounted diagonally on mine. Also need a little work enlarging the pup cavities for the Chinabuckers (ie Gibsons).

Thinking VVT+kill (just to fill the spots)

Still haven't found suitable stickers or whatever to cover the potholes on mine.

I take it then that the red sox are a sporting team of some sort? Thinks, better google it... Ah baseball, got beat by the yankees 6 -4?

How about something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BULLET-HO...se-/281730690420?_trksid=p2141725.m3641.l6368

I'm tellin ya, just put a dummy pot and knob in those spare holes. If anyone asks what they do just tell em it's the volume control for your lead guitarist.

Or install a non-functioning "Producer Switch" like Lee Sklar used to have...
