I'm sure the price is ludicrous though...

Nice. But why is it called a "II"? Was this the change from the original non-reverse body to the reverse?

I just wondered. Many times, manufacturers use numbers in the name to indicated number of pick ups, but obviously not in this case.

Those chrome pickup and bridge covers look pretty boss. I'm a total sucker for those lol

[thread hi-jack] By the way, I noticed that they also had a link to a brand called "Nelson" with a model (the Coquette) that looks like an old Ric and a recent Waterstone model (Mrs Goggins). [/thread hi-jack]

The 'reverse' body style is the original Thunderbird design. As for the II designation, the two pickup model was called the IV, if that's any help!

i would like that bass,too! i really like the idea of the one pickup t bird,and the pickups on these 60's models,in my experience,are fabulous sounding.....those early 'birds could be nice and lightweight,resonant mahogany....slobber,drool.....that's a lottery bass,should i ever play and win.....

Well, he wants $5K for a '65 Embassy, so....

Don't feel too bad, think how you'd feel when you snapped the headstock off someday.

The numbers don't correspond to the pick up figuration. Its the model numbers including the Firebirds. Firebird I is one pick up, Thunderbird II in one pick up, Firebird III is two pick ups, Thunderbird IV is two pick ups and Firebird V is 3 pick ups. Its all about the Firebirds and Thunderbirds together
