My wife DID get me a T-Bird. It was for my birthday, which was 3 months after we got married. She has such great tastes.
And I guess this could qualify as "custom", it's an Epiphone body with a lefty J neck, new bridge and pickups
I love seeing this bass. I really want to try doing that to mine when the neck breaks.
well I never knew that someone did that to a tbird body...man thats unique!!!!! I would LOVE to play on that for a few minutes ( or forever )not mine but really really unique
My two 'birds. 5 string epiphone non reverse and a Epiphone VI
I really, really want one of the jackson ones, I might just slap a pointy headstock on another thunderbird and call it a day.
since the reverse is usually the majority of what the masses have...anytime I can see a non reverse is a treat!!
I got a Charvel 1B this week, and was thinking about putting the maple neck on the EPI body, but NOPE..it is unbelievably nice, so my FrankenBird with a pointy Jackson neck will take a back seat for now, and I'll stick with the ones I already have...
hey FlakeH, what are the 2 switches for?

The toggle switch switched between both pickups on and just the bridge one, and the button is a kill switch.
I'll trade you the non reverse for that 3b or that 1b. Seriously.
Here's a custom - made to order from scratch in Sweden by Frank Stavem - tribute, lefty, reverse Star-Bird:

- I like 5, 8, 10, and 12 string basses
I may have said this in another thread and if I did sorry for the duplicate BUT:
it is too bad they dont make necks the SAME wood as the body, so the magnificant woodgrain could just FLOW right into it
I wonder if I EVER asked you, or anyone else who has the bi-centennial bird on the guard this question since I never saw one live:One of the (ostensibly) 8 sunburst Thunderbirds made in 1979:
is the bird a sticker, painted on, grooves carefully filled in with paint, or it is truly a multi layers of colored plastic??
Hi.
In my bi-centennial firebird it was painted in the grooves IIRC. It's been a while when I had that axe though, could've been a sticker too.

Sam

thanks Sam.... ya, a lot of birds out here from many years, but the USA bird IMO was the coolest!!!
