I'm thinking a Dusk Tiger Robot Zoot Suit Inverse Thunderbird would be right up Henry J's alley.

" Sigh, I know what you chrome imbeciles are now thinking ... "

Hey now! I resemble that remark

Not just chrome, but a tune-o-matic bridge with tailpiece. Scott could make a killing! Let's get that proper headstock back as well. They could make a few of those 9 plys maple instead of walnut and strengthen that skinny neck!

>chrome imbeciles<

Hey now! Studies have shown that chrome attracts more women. Or something.....

I'm with George. Only make the bass Korina and thin maple strips in place of the walnut, Rosewood board, Tune-O-Matic bridge, Big Headstock, Big Tuners and how about Orville pickups?

? That would MURDER!!!!!!!!!

And make the them out of MDF - that would be rainforest friendly

Plus it machines great - sound quality shouldn't be an issue

Chromosexuals.

Dave W · January 05, 2010, 09:32:32 AM

Chromatrons.

What is it about chrome? I go all wobbly looking at our drummer's cymbal stands.

Beware the dark-side...

uwe · January 07, 2010, 09:20:44 PM

Chromepervs.

uwe · January 07, 2010, 09:23:05 PM

More exactly: Chromepervs who had their first (and of course best) sex with a still hot exhaust pipe. That ruins you for life.

I've had the chance to play 60's and 70's Thunderbirds at various shops around here and I just can't say that their sound was really all that different. If it comes down to subtle tone differences then a more balanced, svelte Modern T-Bird has to be the winner in my mind.

There was no better time to chime in then following memoirs of car coitus.
