Description
What makes this bass special: The Thunderbird’s unique “reversed” zig-zag body design & equally distinct headstock was the brainchild of legendary automotive designer & visionary Ray Dietrich, enlisted by Gibson to bolster the guitar lines of the early '60s & help solidify the company’s eminent rank among solidbody electric guitar manufacturers. Today’s Thunderbird IV with its huge, thunderous sound is still a benchmark of innovation, functionality & style, and continues to symbolize Gibson’s drive to achieve creative excellence. Professionally set up by Cream City Music so it's ready to play right out of the case!
