My two non Gibson Thunderbirds:


The Greco...





...and the BaCH

Hey Basvarken,

From the widely spaced placement of the knobs on that non reverse, it looks like they did that on purpose for a "deluxe" model with another pickup and one more knob...does that sound accurate?

The BaCH of Rob is a copy of the original. One pick up ones had the wide spaced controls and two pick up ones had one extra in the middle. I'll post a pic!

I don't know of that's the same with the rev ones.

[Chris P.]

So the same with Revs and Nonrevs!

I see that now Chris....thanks for the info.

Like Chris said; yes that is correct. I ordered a Thunderbird II so that all partcipants of the BaCHbird project could decide wether they would leave it to that one pickup version or add a second humbucker -plus volume pot- to make it a Thunderbird IV (like I am going to do)

And I'm happy too, cos I love one pick up Birds.
