What do you think of first when someone mentions a Thunderbird Bass? The distinctive form designed by legendary car designer Ray Dietrich? The sustain-enhancing nine-ply neck-through-body construction / acoustic? The punchy lows from the two high-performance bass humbucking pickups? Classic, eye-catching, auto-inspired custom colors? In honor of the 60th anniversary of the groundbreaking 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 / acoustic to the instantly recognizable embossed 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, brought to life by a pair of powerful ProBucker 760 Bass humbucking pickup coupled with CTS potentiometers. Modern features like a new Graph Tech saddle and Clover button tuner with a 19:1 gear ratio keep tuning in tune, but the focus here is on Vintage vibes. Available in Ember Red, Silver Mist and Inverness Green, the Thunderbird '64 offers the specs, look, playability and tone of a priceless Vintage Thunderbird at an affordable price.

Für das neue Jahrzehnt hat man bei Epiphone einiges umstrukturiert. Die preiswerten und einzigen offiziellen Nachbauten von Gibson Gitarren, erscheinen ab sofort als Teil der Inspired By Gibson Collection und befinden sich von den Spezifikationen her näher am Original. Dem jahrelangen Wunsch der Community nach Annäherung an die berühmte Open-Book-Kopfplatte von Gibson, ist man mit der neuen Kalamazoo-Kopfplatte nachgekommen, die sich stark am Vorbild orientiert. Laut Gibson hat man außerdem die gesamte Serie nach alten Bauplänen redesigned. Neben einigen neuen Bauteilen wie Graph Tech Nuts und die in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Gibson Custom Shop entwickelten Deluxe Tuner wurden besonders die elektronischen Bauteile erheblich verbessert, wodurch sich jetzt beispielsweise CTS Potis in den Gitarren finden. Auch die Pickups wurden generalüberholt. Die Grundplatte und Abdeckungen von Epiphones ProBucker werden aus 18% Neusilber gefertigt, die gleiche Legierung die auch bei Gibson während der Erfindung des Humbuckers verwendet wurde. Durch diese Verbesserung liefern die Tonabnehmer einen transparenteren und klareren Sound.
