Can someone please describe for me the difference between the '64 and the previous '60's version Epi T-Bird? Other than color options I'm not seeing what the differences are. I'm getting interested in updating to one of the newer ones but I'd really like it in white which the '64 isn't offered in (and not sure on the 60's but thought white was an option).

Also, my ‘60s Thunderbird (from 2022) has a dark Rosewood board v. Indian Laurel on the ‘64 TBirds.

The LAST thing I need is another bass, bu they had me at “Sparkle Finish”…

So now that a little time has passed, what is the verdict on these? I know @TBird1958 likes it. Anyone else? I am in line with Sweetwater for a red one but starting to think twice.

help me spend money, TB!

The honeymoon is over and I want it to stay...very natural to play and sound w/ band AND at home is fantatsic.

As with everything, there are different opinions. I haven’t seen one yet. There are a few here who really like them. There is a poster on the Facebook Thunderbird group page who adores his and others there are liking them too. But there are a few there who think they aren’t all that great.

Buying from Sweetwater is the safest bet if you get one with a problem as they’ll replace it without any hassles.

Tubesday for me IIRC, Blue it is, since I already have a purple '76.

Here's a couple pictures of the new sparkle finishes available through Zzounds along with a quick video showing some aswell.
