thunderbird gig bag

Those B.C. Rich bags you see at Guitar Center can fit a Thunderbird.

 

My 5 string LeCompte T-bird fits comfortably in the Road Runner Pro bass bag.

I don't have a TBird, but I own that gig bag; It's awesome.

 

The major problem you see with T-Birds (besides neck dive) is broken headstocks. Mine has a 1.5" nut, and theres a healthy angle going backwards, aside from a huge paddle of a headstock- which just begs for a break. I wouldn't trust a T-Bird in any gig bag.

 

Right here

 

The intent of the picture is just showing how large the headstock is and how small the comparitive nut width is. I didn't take a picture from above to show how thin the wood is behind the nut. Historically, thinness of wood coupled with the large headstock and the angle at which the headstock is pitched has caused problems specifically for Thunderbirds, and Gibsons in general. A gig bag offers no protection from a blow that could easily break the headstock. My T-Bird lives in a case, it's been gigged hard, it's 26 years old, and it doesn't have a crack.

 

Well I have a thunderbird and found this in the search because i am really bored. Well, My prized t-bird has gone everywhere in my b.c. rich gig bag. I would imagine that you would have already bought what you want by now but this is a good choice. Oh, whoops I just remembered that you said something about pedals.. well then I wouldn't ever use the b.c. rich bag for pedals but it works perfect for a t-bird + cords + tuner.
