ESP Thunderbird on Ishibashi


What were they thinking when they decided to put the controls on the lower horn?
An attempt to cure the neck dive maybe? Ergonomics??
And Jazz pickups for Christ's sake!

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
