Good price on 2 Tbirds at BassNW

Saw these and of course thought of Mark

First, a good candidate for a FenderBird:

Second, a good price on a white Gibson Bird:

I know Mark's flock has grown significantly recently (while his bank account has been reduced) but someone here might like these.

Yeah, I'm at 14 and have a white one already, Mr Epi won't fit my girlish hands

I don't know how many Plek'd white T Birds there are in Seattle - I'm wondering if this isn't one of Dave's (PWV) former beauties.

I liked the comment "professionally repaired" on the Epi's page - shame it wasn't professionally re-finished... $:-\$

Yeah, but that's what would make it a good candidate for a Fenderbird. You just switch out the neck with a fender type.

Damn... (insert dunce cap emoticon here) wrong side of the pond again...

Does the neck pocket need to be routed at all?

Either that or you can shave the sides base and heel of the neck - much easier!

BTW if anyone is interested I can always check on stuff at BassNW, it's 20 minutes from my home.
