More nonsense from the gang that couldn't shoot straight.
While the new colors are great they just couldn't leave well enough alone when they shifted manufacturing from Indonesia to China. They altered the neck angle so the end of the fingerboard is raised about a 1/8" above the body thus forcing the bridge to be raised higher and even necessitating a black plastic spacer under the neck pickup. Why they just couldn't leave it alone is beyond me. It's like someone who has never even seen or played a 60s bird gets involved in the planning. I'm wildly frustrated by this. I guess I'll just scoure Ebay and Reverb for Vintage Pro Thunderbirds. Oi!
