NBD! Thunderbird 60s Bass

It's probably one of the sillier purchases I've made, but it should end up costing me very little (he said, hopefully), so I figured why not... I had a bit of extra money from various gifts, and although I already had a Thunderbird I always wanted a white Thunderbird. They seem to be one of the rarer "standard" colors (Epiphone doesn't even list them in white right now, only tobacco sunburst and ebony), so when one came up for sale I grabbed it.
The seller listed it as being in "excellent" condition, but honestly I would have called it "mint". If it had been listed as new I would not have questioned it. The only sign of wear is very subtle marks on the neck by the headstock, where it was hanging on a hanger.
There's just something classic about a white Thunderbird, IMO.
(Fun fact: the Thunderbird in these two pictures is actually the same one! - Jackie Fox of the Runaways sold it to Mark Mendoza of Twisted Sister, who apparently still owns it.)
