I have trouble with the headstock, which is always a huge deal for me. Somehow a Thunderbird, even the latter day Gibsons, just doesn't look right to me without that big ol' paddle. That's why the Fenderbirds are acceptable - the size of the headstock makes it look okay. Not crazy about the contours either, but that 'stock is the deal breaker. At least he used the big shaft tuners...
