Well, here's my take on a Fenderbird, its a stock very metallic red Epi Thunderbird that I bought just for the body, everything else from it ended up not being used. The neck is an Eden lefty J, has some nice big chromey tuners and (god help me) a string tree! I made the truss rod cover using my Greco as a pattern, it was painted to match the body color. The pickups are Seymor Duncan Single coils potted into some new chromey covers. The Epi bridge and the post inserts were removed as they don't allow the bridge to sit low enogh on the posts due to their rims at the top. The bridge is an Allparts courtesy of Gary (gweimer) Yeah that's where yours went! and the inserts are Gibsons. Its wired VVTT with a 3 position microswitch.
I modified the neck heel and attached it to the body along with all the other parts, I needed help in actually setting it up and the wiring. Happily Mike Lull did this for me. It plays great and I love how it sounds, its a bit tighter than a Gibson but still kinda clanky...
Here it is at a show we played this weekend, came along as my second. I played the Purple one - it's still WAY better!
