OK, who doesn't want a Thunderbird??? No one I know, that's for sure!! Check this one for the all important features of weight, balance, look and TONE! Weight is perfect, it actually DOES balance when it's on a strap, the now aged nickel hardware and pickup covers look perfect and the tobacco sunburst is RIGHT!! ohhh.. and the tone??? Forget about it, real Gibson USA pickups that are FAT (or Phat, to you younger players) and growling. All up, it's the `60's Thunderbird you have always wanted, but can't afford anymore!
