Description

The Thunderbird was released in the early 60s by Gibson utilizing the Firebird shape and neck-through design in a 34" scale length, similar to the Fender P-basses that led the market at the time. The now-iconic design was just what a new generation of low-end players were looking for. This 1989 reissue has had the bridge replaced with a hipshot, but the original bridge included. Includes original hardshell case.
