Now you're just trying to make trouble, aren't you??   ;)

Just be very thankful that the paint was dull on that bird!  What with the track record some folks have of photography while nude at this place :rolleyes: :P ;)

I wouldn’t mind a 3 point replacement bridge if it were thinner the then the one on my ’77 Tbird, are 70’s 3 point bridges & 80’s Epip & Gibson 3 pointers interchangeable? I’m having a hard time getting the action on my ’77 Tbird low enough, I really don’t want to mess with the saddles & I heard that the new saddles are smaller,

I've never had that with a 3 point.... though if you crank it down low enough obviously it is possible.  People do stupid shit to instuments over the years.

On some Gibsons ("V"-Bass, Les Paul Signature and some Rippers come to mind), you do have to crank the bridge extremely low (and hit surface) PLUS file the saddles deeper.

My '76 Bird has a very low action with the standard bridge. It was set up around 15 years ago and it has never seen a luthier since. And I've played an awful lot with it.

It's hardly ever an issue with T-Birds the way that centerpiece/neck is sawn.

Yeah, I don't have that issue on my RD either (similar body shape; long scale, flat top, no neck angle), but things can vary from specimen to specimen.

He has credibly explained that that picture was taken while he was fast asleep. He just has bad luck while sleeping, things happen all the time then.

I do so want to believe him.

At least we know why bright chrome and gloss finishes are preferred.

On, errrm, reflection, that does explain a lot of things, albeit in a most unsavoury way. Any closer inspection of the reflective members on this board always fills me with dread.  :-\
