 Finish aside ( I don't really like it either) I'm not all that worked up about Spector's execution of the Thunderbird shape.......It just looks wrong to my eye, and that headstock flat out doesn't work with it at all. Gibson's original design is still the best in my book.

I agree completely...as far as a budget Tbird, there is one.  Epiphone Pro IV.   Correct shape, correct headstock, through neck, decent hardware and electronics.  Excellent fit and finish.  Even has a gut cut.  $500.  Spend the rest of the $$ on some paisley spray paint.
