Naw, that was Wayne Richard Charvel. I believe Phil's first job with Gibson was actually to make the WRC inheritance that was called Q-80 into the slightly more appealing Q-90. And Phil was never a friend of the Victory either ...

He had no part in the purple clown basses right?

Even if he did, that bird and the Les Pauls he made more than make up for it!

Sorry I got here too late to talk you out of it, Uwe, so congratulations!

Is that a hundred & one now or what?

Getting there, Terry, getting there! With Epis, Orvilles and Kalamazoos I'm beyond that figure, but if I just count real Gibbos, it's something like 91. Korinabird and this years new releases (Grabber II, Ripper, BFG) not included.

In essence, this is a very late Bicentennial - in 1981 the rerelease of the new TBs was still some years off. A predecessor to the white 86 TB II you so graciously bequeathed on me!

Uwe, do you have a picture of your white 86 TB II?  I'd heard about these before but have never seen one.

Oh Man,

Don't make him post that too!

Whatever happened to the plan to photograph all your basses for a book?  My coffee table is waiting for something suitable.....

There's only one place that bird will go if it ever returns to the States... It's actually the only one I've sold that I really want back.

I'd prefer it in "Clownburst" ... ;)

and whilst on the subject Uwe, could I possibly see a pic of the original (EB3?), purely out of curiosity, you understand...

Anyone care to start a competition for what will be Uwe's 100th Big "G" ...? and no rigging it Mr H !

Gibson made a batch of these in 1986 for sale in Japan. The story is sketchy but as I understand it, Gibson will make anything a dealer wants if they order enough of them. Someone in Japan must have ordered enough! I've seen pictures of two white ones, one black one, and one sunburst (which was beautiful). I bought the white one Uwe now owns. Mine was the only one I ever saw for sale in the U.S. The others I saw pictures of were all in Japan.




Wait a minute. I know they're here somewhere... Ah, here ya go:




 



Probably my favorite Thunderbird model. And Uwe, yours certainly looks nicer than this one (IMHO, of course):
