This is posted here for all the non FB folks.  Last Saturday (5 June 21) I picked up a new beauty.  A Guild T-Bird. P-90. here is the stock add for it:
"Based on the S-200 T-Bird reissue, the T-Bird ST P90 features the same unique, asymmetrical shape, but with a simplified feature set. Minimalist players will appreciate the added stability and reliability of a stopbar tailpiece and pared down electronic controls, while enjoying the T-Bird’s retro vibe. The dual Guild Franz P90 pickups found on the T-Bird ST P90 are perfect for the player looking for that crisp, vintage, single-coil sound, offering plenty of mid-range output that can be driven to a soaring classic rock tone. The T-Bird features a vintage C shape set mahogany neck, and bound rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays. Other period-correct details include open gear vintage tuning machines, and famed asymmetrical headstock adorned with Guild’s logo and Thunderbird icon in mother-of-pearl."

While I know (thanks to Z) that the Franz pups are special and always sold out, I am having them replaced with hotter P90 pickups.  Ill hold onto them Franz set just in case, but they will probably go up for sale. (get a little money back).

Here is a clip of Sonbeam and myself.  Ill do the same song with the new pups and exact  same amp settings for a comparison as soon as the guitar comes back from  the shop.

Re: NGD

I think the originals had a built in stand that folded out from the back. I wonder how many headstock`s broke from using it ??

Scott that's a funky looking axe.

If it plays great - that is the whole ball of wax!

Hope you enjoy it - look forward to hearing you or " Sonbeam" rip it with that baby !
