I think I'm in love... and the bass is nice too...
I have never played an 8 string, I'm not sure it would be practical for how I play... I blame Tom Petersson

I remember seeing them on display at Sears when I was a kid.
Sorry if this has been covered but I'm dipping my toes in the T-Bird world for the first time. Is there a difference between the Epi Thunderbird 60's model and the Vintage Pro? They both appear to be the same price and specs, is it just a name change?
I think just a name change.
believe it or not, they sound purdy darn good!…they would also be illegal today but that’s another story…
…
Forgot yesterday...
But here we go anyway for Thunderbird Thursday! Look what has showed up in my local L&M!
My NR nowhere in sight yet.

Government and their safety regulations removing everything good - case amps, lawn darts, Ford Pintos... Where does it end? Will Thunderbirds be outlawed for their projectile headstocks next??believe it or not, they sound purdy darn good!…they would also be illegal today but that’s another story…

I like the shape much better since Gibson “Halled” them.

Just the name, and the tuners are slightly shorter than the original production.
