Looks like I have some time on my hands. I am going to be taking orders for non reverse Thunderbird bodies in the II and IV configuration and orders for non reverse pickguards. I will also be building JE Fenderbird bodies. I don't have pricing worked out yet, for starters bodies will be unfinished. Some pics of my work.

Best of luck with this, Scott. If I were you, I'd keep a fairly low profile. You wouldn't want to draw any attention from a certain manufacturer's legal eagles.

I have been thinking about that I will make pick guards and charge for pick guards only. If a bird turns up on one I have no idea how it got there. Seriously good advice Dave. I have given that alot of thought and I think this is going in the direction of building complete NRs using my bridges, Tony Carl's pup covers and Seymour Duncan custom pickups. I am thinking of a new bird design along the lines of the Phoenix and calling my basses that. I believe Uwe dubbed my shared of a Tbird that, Phoenix, I like the sound of it ! Yeah Phoenix Basses

Can I be your first customer? I need a pickguard, and have been planning an NR project.

Right now I would be able to start a Fenderbird build Full Nrs are a way off. If any one wants to consider a Fenderbird build weather JE or the NR body shape please contact me.

Yeah, looks like you're going to have some fun over the coming months. Good luck!
Is your first batch of scratchplates all subscribed? I would like one with no holes if possible - my current one just doesn't line up
Cheers
