Any short scale T-birds for sale?

The only Gibson made short scale Thunderbirds were a limited run earlier in the last decade. They don't come up very frequently, they're a rare sight. But, if you're looking for thunderbird advice, head to the club: Thunderbird Club

 

If I remember correctly, Gibson only made 400 of them. I've seen 2 or 3 for sale over the last few years.

 

Check out the new Epiphone Embassy. Might do the trick unless you need the T-bird look.

 

The OP was looking for a short-scale. Isn't the new Embassy 34 inches?

 

I bought one of those 400 short scale T-Birds when they came out in 2011. The general build quality was mediocre at best, the finish was unevenly applied and rough looking, the balance kinda sucked on the strap and it wasn’t comfortable to sit with. It sounded ok...but just ok. The only real strong point for me was that it looked cool....from ten feet away. What the **** was I thinking when I bought it? Thank gawd I got it from L&M who have an excellent return policy. This is a collector oddity, not something I’d ever recommend to a newer player....or any player really. Very little bang for the buck.

 

In the Chinese marketplace, I've seen shorty "Tbirds" (w/neck through?) advertised. Of course, now that I look for them, I can't find them, but I know I've seen them. They start around €280, and go down depending on how many ya order. Only avail in black.

I imagine the build quality would be on par with current El Cheapos out of China. Caveat emptor!

I do not recommend going that route, I'm merely pointing out the existence of such basses.

 

PS - Found it. It won't let me edit in a pic, so here ya go. And they are neck through.
