Epiphone Thunderbird 64 Bass w/ Gig Bag in Ember Red

What do you think of first when someone mentions a Thunderbird™ Bass? The distinctive shape that legendary automotive designer Ray Dietrich created? The sustain-enhancing nine-ply neck-through-body construction? The low-end punch from the two powerful bass humbucker™ pickups? Classic eye-catching, auto-inspired custom colours? In honour of the 60th anniversary of the ground-breaking Gibson Thunderbird, Epiphone is proud to introduce the Thunderbird ’64. Inspired by the vintage Gibson T-Bird basses of that era, the new Thunderbird ’64 retains all the classic elements that made the originals iconic, from the nine-ply mahogany and walnut neck-through-body construction right down to the instantly recognizable hot-stamped Thunderbird logo on the three-ply pickguard. Once you take it out of the included premium gig bag and plug it in, you’ll immediately notice the Thunderbird ’64’s deep, rich tone, which is brought to life with a pair of powerful Pro-Bucker™ 760 Bass humbucker pickups paired with CTS® potentiometers. Modern features like a new Graph Tech® nut and Clover-button tuners with a 19:1 gear ratio keep the tuning more solid than ever, but the focus here is all about vintage vibes. A premium gig bag is included.
