Epiphone Thunderbird ’64 Include Premium Gig bag, Silver Mist

In honor of the 60th anniversary of the groundbreaking Gibson Thunderbird, Epiphone is proud to introduce the EPIPHONE Original Collection Thunderbird ’64 (EIGTB6EMRNH3) solid body electric bass. Inspired by the vintage Gibson T-Bird basses of that era, the Thunderbird ’64 retains all of 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 ProBucker™ 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.

Available in Ember Red, Silver Mist, and Inverness Green, the Thunderbird ’64 delivers the specifications, look, playing experience, and tone of a priceless. Fingerboard is made of Laurel. It’s a spectacular and often overlooked guitar tonewood. It has the look and feel to that of East Indian Rosewood, offering rich overtones and brilliant highs that produce lively and dynamic performances. It’s sound is often compared to that of Brazilian Rosewood.
