Nice, Rob! Looking forward to getting mine.
One of my favorite Bill Wyman parts done fingerstyle on a TBird. Don't know who the player is, and his YT channel is only about a month old. This is the fifth video he's done with the TBird.I wonder what strings he's using. I would've thought RS66, looking at the headstock, but then saw the same silk color at the bridge. RS66 hasn't had that at the bridge in a long time.
CME on Reverb still has its special run (white, w/chrome cover pickup) at $749. Three in stock.What pickups does that hoodie have?
I see that a Reverb store called Manchester Music Mill has a couple in stock at full price but you get a free Gibson hoodie. What a deal!
The saddles (the rotating part) can be pushed sideways a bit. But as I mentioned, the travel is limited.Ah, thanks. But it's a want thing, not need. On my Hipshot I narrowed the spacing as much as it would go because I like that.
Not that you'd really need to, because the bridge is made as a drop-in replacement for the 3 point which has a non adjustable string spacing.
I think the Hipshot Supertone looks clumsy on a Tbird. Because it is wider than the raised middle section of the body.How can the Babicz be adjusted for string spacing? That's the biggest reason I got the Hipshot, plus the Babicz didn't exist yet.
I'd prefer the Babicz three point replacement, which is an excellent bridge that can be adjusted for intonation, saddle height and string spacing. (the latter a bit limited)
Or you could get a Hipshot Supertone and live happily ever after.Yeah, love it on my Thunderbird.
