Wow, that's beautiful! I'll need some when I get my act back together in the shop!

I bought a whole Peter Cook for less than that... (okay, it was '77...

)

I always thought it was nice of Mr Cook to put the posts in the right place... good luck with the sales...

I'll call you when I get a moment. I need 4 acorn nuts. Plus we'll talk about that 8 string tailpiece

And I bought an all original Cardinal Red Non-reverse Thunderbird for less than half of that.

in 1969

But do you still have it...?

I was still on uprights then...

the mojo hobo · September 27, 2012, 07:13:15 PM

As a matter of fact I do.

Refinnned twice, broken headstock at least 5 times. played a lot. Modified a bit too.

Just realized I bought one of the original Badbirds and never installed it. But the picture above with all it's shinieness makes me want to buy one. Hopeless.

Awesome...

What are the pups hiding under those covers...?

Dimarzio Model 1s.

I had one of those in the neck-slot of my PC for some time but it was viciously microphonic - now long gone - Al has one in his recovered EB, along with an MB

Yessir, yessir I do.

I'm thinking a pair of Model 1's would give a nice rough sound.

The Neck pickup is a 64-ish mudbucker from this forum...the Model 1 was in it when I got it. And the bar bridge intonates just fine, thankyewverramuch. The controls are vol/vol, because no one in his right mind needs a tone control to reduce highs on this pickup set.

Who said anything about having a right-mind round here...
