So I've had this T-head since the late 70s- early 80s. It's been my favourite amplfied guitar since forever, and I know little about its history. (It's personal history, not the history of the line)

 

it it is NOT set up like any Thunderhead I've ever seen and some of it doesnt look particularly "aftermarket-custom" IYKWIM.

does this look familiar to anyone here?

Sure hope this link works. I have no idea what I'm doing, just trust in Steve Jobs.....

Location: Campbell River, British Columbia		The four selector switch was a bit useless when I got it. Out of phase the sound was so much weaker that it was pointless. I had the active switching taken out so it could run it without batteries

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest		I've seen this pup in person. Someone thought out the mods. On behalf of Phil and the curiosity I have built up since I saw this guitar, I would love to know who it belonged to originally. That signature should mean something to someone... The guy that did the mods knew what he was doing.

Jo Titus? Anyone recognize the name? Or something that a signature would slur in a similar fashion? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=719748664752250&set=a.71...

 

JOY joy! Figured out how to load a picture....I feel like a genius.
