Thanks All!
Carlo and Scott have helped with many questions so far.
Another thing I'm having a hard time finding consistent info on is proper wiring for
Both single and dual pickup thunderbirds.
Is it 500 for vol on both and 250 for tone?
What Cap ?
Thanks again

Roger that. I'll go with 1/4 because I have that bit. Followed by some sanding.
This isn't gonna be an exact copy anyway.

Any tips on historically accurate edge radius?

Yes, That is one of GOT's Pickguards and I have one of his Bad Bird Bridges and Tail Pieces for it as well.
The Neck pocket rout went well!
I don't have a good shot of it, but the control cavity and cover have been cut as well.
After we round the edges, and cut a shallow belly bevel, we will install the neck (it's a bolt on Warmoth neck) Bridge, Tail Piece and lay out the pickup rout for the ThunderBucker Ranch Max N.

My Father in law and I have been slowly working on this project.
Actually, I've wanted to do it for years, but never got around to it until Carlo inadvertently gave me the nudge i needed.
We started with this gorgeous 2 piece blank of rare figured mahogany
the blank was 2 1/8" thick, so we cut about 1/2" inch off the top, planed it and sanded it before joining the halves together.
I tried to convey that it woud be easiest to rout the neck pocket before cutting the body shape, but when nextcame to the shop the body was cut. So I laid the neck area out and prayed for the best

Gibson Basses / Re: Early Thunderbird custom color headstocks?
« on: July 04, 2013, 03:23:55 AM »That white one not a 60s, it's a Bicentennial similar to my original paint '77.
Thanks! I did 't catch that Pickguard until you said that.

Gibson Basses / Early Thunderbird custom color headstocks?
« on: July 03, 2013, 04:39:22 PM »
Hello, I've been mostly quietly reading these forums for a little while and had a Question.
I've seen a few pics of both a Polaris White and a Inverness green Solid color '63-'64 Thunderbirds where the whole headstock was the solid color. No black face.
Can anyone confirm if this actually happened or if they are likely refins?
I know I've seen a natural like this too some where.
To clarify, I'm talking about Early Gen 1 Reverse Thunderbirds pre 1965.
I know that the solid color Non Revs had matching solid color headstock.
Thanks.

Came real close to bidding on this one too.
I don't really know the difference between the series on these, but I know I can still get black Single Pickup and trans red double pickup.
