Thunderbird Club

TT. I played through a 1972 Ampeg B15 tonight.

Thunderbird Thursday, my latest acquisition, a used Eppi IV from Guitar Center.

Might be a burst or maybe burgundy; might be all chrome hardware or maybe only a chrome bridge; might be trash or maybe a great player; might keep it stock or maybe modded to hell; might have paid $180 for it or maybe closer to $230; might arrive next Thursday or maybe not; might return it to GC or maybe add it to the flock.

Here’s a pic, if you use your imagination you might be able to see it or maybe not…



…many uncertainties it seems.

Looks white to me. Some kind of white burst?
 
Hey Chucky,
I'll be spending time with mine this weekend and compare the two. Inititial impression is that the necks feel similar.

One thing about mine; it really feels light and balanced. It's much lighter than my '13.

Have you ordered yours yet?
nah not yet but since between you and i we have all three Gibson NR generations and we both live in the same state it'd be cool to hook up and make some comparisons..
