This was my first restomod project, working with a new (to me) luthier. There were a couple of hiccups along the way, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I can't really play well right now (recently had surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome in my elbow), so no demo video yet, but believe me, this Thunderbird went from being a dud to one of the best sounding birds I've ever had. Before the new iteration, it sounded like it had a sponge mute pushed under the strings, but not in a good way. I had the same thing happen with my first Thunderbird back in the early 80's, so I took a chance that this one would open up again once it had the right bridge. Special thanks to Scott, who provided the perfect bridge and tailpiece. Thunderbucker '66 pickups and rings were also included in this build. They sound great to my ear. It's all angry piano again, and the sustain is insane. I'm in love with this thing.
