That's because you are wearing it about two feet too high. Some designs are fine on a short strap. The Thunderbird isn't one of them 3 Quote

MartinB Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 The red one's nice. Does the non-reverse shape affect the balance much, or not really? The strap button still looks a fair distance from the 12th fret. Quote

The strap button still looks a fair distance from the 12th fret. Mild neck dive but better than the other thunderbird I had (reverse/classic) think the gibbo will be different again, set neck, mahogany etc. 1 Quote

If I ever bought a Thunderbird, it would be solely because of this man demigod. 2 Quote

Just go the whole hog and reissue the original '64. It had better pickups (so I hear) and doesn't have that oil rig bridge. 2 Quote
