Looking for an old NR T-bird thread
« on: November 04, 2009, 06:56:10 AM »
Drbassman told me there was an old thread regarding Gibson Nonreverse Thunderbirds and in that thread were a bunch of specs and dimensions for the placement of pickups, electronics, etc. Anyone have that thread bookmarked?
Thanks!

Shouldn't Rob have those specs too due due to his, errm, Czech business doings?


And thanks for posting something in the Gibson forum after it was on a lengthy hiatus! I was getting worried ...  :rolleyes:

I know George (OldManC) has posted a photo with dimensions drawn in, but I can't remember whether it was a Reverse or Nonreverse.

Thanks!

Not sure I recall that thread, but I did save a couple of photos from back at the old forum (I think they were from OldManC).  These helped me a great deal with lining up the parts on my BachBird project:
