I don't really notice "that" big a difference in tone between the 3 point and the Supertone bridge. I really switched over to it for looks and ease of adjustment, though I think I've got the 3 point bridge pretty much figured out by now.

It increases high note sustain slightly - now the TB already has loads of that due to its neck-thru construction, so it's not really relevant to most people, especially as the bad upper register access of a rev TB doesn't really invite you to spend a lot of time there!

But I like the way it looks on my Blackbird.

 I had to go looking for this pic.......

I used to be such a sweet thing  ;)
This is one of very few Thunderbirds I've sold, it was certainly pretty and played nice, I still have the dress and heels  ;D

Yes, the Supertone ousted it - no room, unless I would have placed it somewhere else which I thought silly. Still have it in my spare parts box - want it?

I have those chrome covers now, but they're on the BaCH. I'll try them on my Bicentennial, but I'm afraid that one looks to battered for the shiny covers....


Isn't the neck cover mounted the wrong way?

I just never imagined Mark so domesticated...

And Uwe, surely that T'bird should be "Richthofen Rote" to match Manfred's Dr I; and you would only be allowed to play it attired in leather longcoat, riding crop (hooked over a tuner), peaked cap, shiny, shiny, boots made of leather... and the IRON CROSS at your neck... (Mark, put your tongue away...) or did you steal it from Lemmy...?   :o :o :o

Scott and Ken... The Butcher Brothers...  :mrgreen:

Ken, I wouldn't hang around in this forum too long. You're bound to get chromitis, or at least a healthy chrome fetish.
