I had a chance to buy this Roscoe several years ago but waited too long and it was gone.....

[Dave W]

I had no idea that there have been so many. It's not something I ever paid close attention to, but it just goes to show that the body shape is more desirable than some people would have you think.

Here's a couple from my pics......


A St.George ho, almost bought this one.............

Until recently BaCH used to make Reverse (normal) Thunderbirds too. With Ibanez shaped headstock. Found this pic of a 5 string TB on an Italian site of a BaCH reseller.

Sheldon Dingwall has toyed with the idea of doing a fanfret T-Bird.  I would raid my savings for that.

[uwe]

So would I. The slanted frets are in harmony with the Rev body angles.

A St.George ho, almost bought this one.............

Wow, I had no idea so many companies had made T-birds! And Mark, there was a St. George like that one on eBay for a few weeks not too long ago; looked almost exactly like that one!

The headstock is as important as the body in my book.
If it doesn't have the Classic headstock, it doesn't rate.
My lefty Tokai is a beaut! a Lawsuit perfect ho!

[Chris P.]

I like the gold one! Also the one-string simplicity
