Nice idea for my magazine:)
That Firebird he built is really beautiful............. :o
That looks really promising. I wonder if he'd do the correct nut width for the Thunderbird. If so, I may have to get one of these...
Really nice.
Now try this for all you Tbird fanned fret fans

Nice! But
all you...? Name me one! :mrgreen:
Thats the joke, there aren't any (at least here)
I find that fanned concept interesting and it goes visually much better with a TBird than an anodyne Fenderesque body. Where did you get it from?
Giving every string the optimal scale appeals to me in theory. D and G just sound better in short scale, E and A better in long or longer.

I think they're cool, not in my budget tho.

I think a used one just went for about $850 on Ebay. My fanfret project bass cost me about $1100 to have done. It may look like a Fender, but the body is mahogany, so it has more of a Tbird/EB-3 kind of tonal range.
I like the looks of the first fanned fret T-bird. Like the weird headstock too! :mrgreen:
