Wow, that is stunning! I love Pelham Blue, it is the ultimate SG colour in my opinion :)
I usually don't like relic jobs, but this looks so natural!

Hey Y'all,
As promised, here's a couple of photos of my Thunderbird and my SG side by side (on my organ keyboard....). They're like long lost cousins. (My apologies for my rather poor picture taking skills. I have a $1000 camera but I feel like I need to take a course to learn how to take great pics with it. :oops: )

The SG plays like a dream and is super fast because of the short scale. The bridge had done wonders for the sustain and overall tone and the neck dive is non-existent now. I'm sure there is still the slightest amount of dive but it's imperceptible because of where I rest my left forearm on the body.

Woot!

Agreed.

Have you thought of refinishing that organ with the same finish? :)

Hmmm, that's an interesting idea. Although, at 400lbs, it might be tough for Bryan to hang it in his drying rack.... :lol:

That picture is insane. It should be an album cover or Itunes download art or something.
