neepheid Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago Well, technically it was NBD yesterday, but I drove to Inverness after work to get this bad boy and didn't get back home until late, so I couldn't be bothered filing the report until today. I have assembled a flock (?) of Thunderbirds - saw this guy up on FB marketplace for a most agreeable price and couldn't pass it up. It's even redder in person than these pics suggest - it's almost redburst rather than sunburst, and I really dig it. Here it is with its rather more outgoing sibling... Got a lot of extras with this one - Hipshot bridge (as you can see), the official hard case, strap locks (Schaller), a strap, a spare set of strings. And the bonus of all bonuses, the slightly longer Vintage Pro/60s/64 T-bird fits in the hard case - just! Happy, I am. Except that because the Hipshot bridge is chrome, I really want to replace the tuners with chrome ones to match... Jamais contente 12 Quote

JJMotown Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago What is the difference in sound between the two birds? Quote

At work the now, going to a gig tonight (as a punter), so probably won't have any answers until Saturday... 1 Quote

TbirdnTalman Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago I have one of these, it's great. Managed to get the PUs out of the plastic covers and fit chrome covers 🙂 1 Quote
