More info on this if anyone has it.  Is this one of the now discontinued Cherry finish models?

Cheers

Looks to be.  Sweet color.  Looks like a pickguard swap tho, missing da birdy!

I realy like those 'Birds, long ago at The Pit we discussed having a custom Thunderbird done, much along these lines. The seller here posts some interesting production quantites - wonder where that info came from.

Didn't Scott have one...?

He did and so do I. The special thing about these was that they had a preciosa fingerboard or suchlike. It was the time were Gibson was using rosewood with some, uhum, hesitation.

Is the sky blue, is the grass green, does Uwe have at least one of almost every Gibson Bass that's ever existed...?

They're still using so-called baked maple on some models.

Is that like a baked Alaska...?

Yeah, except they wipe off the meringue.

I had one, pretty bird. Grew fret sprout almost over night. I decided I couldn't be bothered with it and sold it off. Reverse birds ain't my thing, I figured I was better off without it.

I have a duty and I'm just following orders.

Are you hearing... voices... Herr Hornung...?
