Electric Bass

Epiphone pays a vibrant tribute to the original T-Bird with this Thunderbird 64 collection. Designed by automotive designer Ray Dietrich, the T-Bird stood out from the competition with impressive sustain and a pronounced bass response, thanks to its mahogany/walnut through-body neck surrounded by mahogany wings. This Inverness Green model takes all the basics and adds a pair of ProBucker 760 humbuckers.

Epiphone pays tribute to the original T-Bird, and to celebrate its 60th birthday, the manufacturer is offering this Thunderbird 64 series.

The T-Bird made an impression as soon as it was released with its atypical design, inherited from the former car designer Ray Dietrich, taking the form of the Firebird released a year before. But where this legendary model stood out from its fierce competition was in its impressive sustain and the depth of its low notes.

Whether you are a Blues lover, a Rock fan or a Metal enthusiast, you have definitely heard a legendary band playing on the "Thunderbird".

This Thunderbird 64, in a superb Inverness Green color, takes up the famous characteristics of its elder, namely a 9-ply mahogany/walnut neck, crossing two mahogany wings. The result is a monstrous sustain that is accentuated by the profile of the 60s Rounded neck with great playing comfort.

To make the bass of this icon roar, Epiphone decided to use its pair of ProBucker 760 double-coil pickups, with a warm and punchy sound. Whether you play clean or accompanied by an Overdrive, you will find the balance of sound thanks to the two volumes and will be surprised by the possibilities of this Bird.

In order to stick as closely as possible to the original model, the 19:1 tuners are open with characteristic "Clover" keys, and the bridge/tailpiece combination is in the pure vintage tradition. The Graphtec nut, meanwhile, limits string friction to a minimum in order to ensure tuning stability during your different sets.

As an additional aesthetic touch, the Thunderbird is hot-stamped in the pickguard to follow you everywhere.

The beauty is delivered in its premium cover to guarantee you total peace of mind when traveling.
