Title: A good deal (UK) for somebody.
Post by: Alanko on June 28, 2016, 12:12:29 PM

Andertons are selling a white bicentennial T-bird for £749.00. It has a repaired headstock, but that still looks like quite a good deal for somebody?

Original strap button location on Bicentennials is on the upper horn so it appears to be a refin.

If originally white it's a '77, no whites were shipped in '76.   But definitely worth the money.

900 euros. Tempting.... ;-) But I allready have a very nice Thunderbird and I do not need another one as I prefer my Rickenbacker's. ;-)

Even with the refin that's a good price. And the best part is you don't have to worry about taking it out to bars for the occasional flogging since the damage is already done.
