Thunderbird Club

Used is certainly worth investigating, I have an '89 and find it to be a great "player", the neck pitch is shallow and it's finished nicely. Lots of upgrades are available as well. Epiphone Vintage Pro or Classic Pro are excellent alternates for a bit less money than a used Gibson.

Gosh I really like the look of that. Is that a factory finish?

Yes, the finish (Classic White) was a stock Gibson color at one point, they discontinued it about 10 years back.
