I really like the sound of your Bird. Nothing sounds like a 60's T-bird, except maybe an Embassy.

Thanks :) Nothing sounds like a NR II!  For a while I was leaving them home and using my Model G powered NR "fenderbird".  Now I bring both the Fenderbird one of my NRs. Here is the Fenderbird for comparison.
