Maker of the Badbird Bridge, "intonation without modification" for your vintage Gibson Thunderbird

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Various long scale Gibsons were listed as 34 1/2" but (like most 24 3/4" Les Pauls) that includes estimated compensation. Several I've measured were all 34 1/8" uncompensated.

The length of my Lull is not something that I'll share with you here, even tho I like you all, you just don't need to know that much about me  8)

Resident T Bird playing Drag Queen www.thenastyhabits.com  "Impülsivê", the new lush fragrance as worn by the unbelievable Fräulein Rômmélle! Traces of black patent leather, Panzer grease, mahogany and model train oil mingle and combust to one sheer sensation ...

According to Henry J's post on the My Les Paul forum, the custom shop was not flooded.

I'm in if it's unreasonable too!!! : - )

A small rin CS reissue of a historic model would be really something.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I don't expect any new runs will be a priority for Gibson under the circumstances. If the flooding delays their regular production too much, it wouldn't surprise me to see some of it shifted to the custom shop. Especially the more expensive production models.

Agreed Dave this is going to slow things down. Hope springs eternal!

That's not surprising. At least they have a target date, not just an indefinite suspension.

I guess Lull basses will never be a big hit in Holland. The bassist of a befriended band played one for a while and he was continuously the aim of lots of jokes.  :mrgreen:
