Thunderbird II project pickup placement
TBird1958:
Happy to lay a tape across my Greco TB II for you David! :)

Appreciated! I actually have the measurements for a '64. Just toying with whether or not I should do something different or not as it wont look the same anyway.

Excellent. Thanks. Sorry for the repetition - I missed that.

I tried to make a TB II Fenderbird a couple of years back, with laughably disastrous results. One thing I learned early on (from memory) was that the neck pickup on Thunderbirds have crept towards the neck over time, and that a TB II isn't simply the same beast as a regular T-bird with a deleted bridge pickup.
My bass was going to have a Fender WRHB in the (hypothetical) 36th fret position, roughly where a P pickup is. It seemed a good compromise on a single pickup instrument, though the bass in question is now safely in the landfill somewhere.
