would you consider posting the grover tuners to Australia? cheers

Here's my Epiphone Classic Pro for comparison, I count 9 ply's too... looks identical to the Gibson's, I think we can put the argument to rest now :)

Epiphone seriously needs to update and correct their website... a 9-ply neckthrough bird with mahogany/walnut ply's is a BIG selling point, they'd sell so much more if their info was correct

I'm still on a mission to work this out for myself... I think from what I've seen and read, these are some of the differences; - neck angle relative to body - headstock break angle - the way in which the mahogany wings of the body are glued to the neckthrough construction (Gibson uses a V...

And just to confuse matters more, I wouldn't even technically call the Epiphone Thunderbird PRO-IV a 7 ply neck through anyways, since only 5 of the 7 ply's run the entire length of the neck... I'd call it a 5-ply neckthrough construction.

As I stated above; the Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV PRO and the Epiphone Thunderbird PRO-IV are 2 completely different basses. If it has the word CLASSIC in it, it's 9 ply with Gibson passive pickups. If it does NOT have the word CLASSIC in it, it's the 7 ply with active pickups.

oops, came out a bit small, hope this one is better...

epiphone are 100% wrong on their website, I hope this pic of my recently acquired Epiphone Thunderbird Classic-IV PRO settles all arguments. (note: it is not the same model as the Epiphone Thunderbird Pro)
