My black nylons for your naughty boys.
So far they sound good. Nice and thumpy.

Mine show up Saturday. My concern is if the setup will change drastically (truss rod and intonation adjustments). What did you find?
First cover, maybe many will come, but I seriously need to improve my left and right hands a lot
Nice work! The new bird sounds great. CCR songs are great practice. Pretty easy progressions to memorize so you can concentrate on the rhythm. Fleetwood Mac songs are like that too. I keep my left thumb with light pressure on the middle of the back of the neck. Opens up my hand to more fluid movement. Everyone is different. I use alternating second and third fingers on the right hand with the floating thumb. When it’s time to gallop, it’s four, three, two. I have a hard time alternating all three fingers, it just doesn’t feel natural. YMMV. And I still can’t play worth a damn with a pick.
You're right. That's where it went sideways. Those people from the Thunderbird Club are nothing but human debris.
Uhhhh.....Am I not on mute?
Some very careful work with some Gluboost might make that almost disappear.weird….the 68 hs rear is dark but not quite as much as the front…hard to tell without decent lighting……
my repair…..

The pickguard isn't original. It doesn't have the official cracks in the right places, and it's mentioned in the ad. Seems a little pricey for normal folk. But it looks great. The nut is white. Most are not any longer.
Glad you're better. Several people I know around here are positive. My Mother-in-law being one of them. She has no symptoms, fortunately. Seems that's the case for 40-50% of Omicron.
Glad I'm not having to play that much, how about you Marshall?Congrats! The Stork brought a new baby Thunderbird home to the club!
I got the 105 set and did have to raise the strings one turn, the D 1.5 turns. Neck seems fine for now, but after setting a day or so that may change. That's one thing I like about big Pbass necks. I have only needed to adjust one once since the late 70s. But I don't use cables.
Why is it that black nylons keep coming up?
Its taunting enough that our queen wears them so graciously….
Very nice! I’m going to have to head down when it’s safe!
Just spitballing here, but you could probably try removing the pickups and trying Goopoff and if needed, followed with some fine metal polish.
As for the stock strings, I assumed they were 45-105 Gibson nickel roundwounds. They stayed on mine for a hot minute before I installed Dunlop Marcus Miller stainless steel Superbrights. I dropped the action down on mine so I didn’t have to adjust pickup height. I don’t know what the adhesive looking stuff might be.
Have I said how much I love mine?
There's no taunt here, trust me! Nothing to see. Move along.
Very few. Most are so they can toss them out to fans.
