That seller bought some Thunderbird pickups and other bits from me. He's got two or three birds among his collection. He's a cool guy.
Nice repro guard.
Nice! I got a mint one similar to that on my BaCH, except Terrapin had made it.

...although it never looks mint in pics, up against the ocean turquoise paint. The green comes out more against the white primer:

I have one of those, it has turned totally mint over time.
