Is that a 90s Standard model?
I've never played one, always was curious how the sound differs (or doesn't) from my beloved LPB1 with the black TB plus pickups.

Mine?? No, it's an Oversize (bigger body for a big gurl!) 2014 IIRC.

You don't ask big girls about their weight

The struggle is real! I've actually taken up exercise............ I know

At 61 a girl has to do some pretty drastic stuff to keep in shape, so 4 times a week I'm doing some pretty good Cardio and weights - the horror!
Playing that Les Paul Oversize takes a little doing, I don't know what it weighs but a Bird almost feels like a toy after I play a set with it.

Happy Thunderbird Girl.
