I had a mex Jazz (bought off Leigh Gordon of morcheeba) which had exactly this issue, I just used it as a thumb reference point; it didn't move, never got any worse. Just wood shifting itself around a bit
I quite like /the look/ of a thunderbird specifically but I'm not blessed with arms like an orang utan(more like a trex) so it's a non starter
I don't really feel the burn of them either
This time I shall be doing "I still haven't found what I'm looking for" (it's a gospel song) segueing into "hound dog"
