Good idea or madness? (Tbird content)
« on: July 31, 2009, 03:24:30 AM »
This thread on Basschat - he wants a white Tbird with maple board, block inlays and white headstock. Can't recall ever seeing even a Tbird clone with a maple board....

Looks like a Fenderbird with a Gibson headstock.  I like it.

Looks cool, I never have seen a T bird with a maple fingerboard Epi or Gibson. Closest I have seen is this.



What about the Jackson or Dean Tbird clones?

I love it!  It gives me an idea for a project on down the road.  How about a single pup, NR with a natural finish and a maple, blocked neck?  Matching headstock too, of course.  Hmmmmmmmmmmm, the wheels are turning!

BTW, I played the Epi all natural TB yesterday at the local shop and it was really a nice bass.  They wre asking $415 for it!!! I almost brought it home but the wife would have killed me (she doesn't get paind in the summer, so money's tight   :P).

I like it. I've always been a sucker for white basses.

That looks cool!! ESP made a Thunderbird (but I think it was called a Phoenix) with a maple board and PJ pickups. It was on a Japanese store site a while back.

I love that black pickguard! That NR Fenderbird is sweet as well.
