Robert Plant and Jimmy Page (drummer and bassist of Deep Purple, Jake!)
I came across this today. Im sure it was discussed here already but I found it particularly nuts that on Gibsons own website they state that Tom Peterson played a Thunderbird III. It was put up over a year ago and in that time no one thought to correct the error? its one thing for misinformation to be spread across forums and blogs..but your own website?! The whole site must be run by some group of marketing wunderkinds that sold the Gibson on the idea that they could increase their web/social media presence and Henry has double-downed on them just like he has robo-tuners.http://www2.gibson.com/News-Lifestyle/Features/en-us/The-10-Coolest-Gibson-Thunderbird-Players.aspx
• Krist Novoselic: The Gibson Ripper was Novoselic’s main bass through his years with Nirvana until he settled on the Thunderbird IV in the band’s last months. Novoselic was so enamored with the T-bird design that he celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of Nirvana’s Nevermind by creating the Krist Novoselic Signature RD Bass with Gibson. The instrument follows the essential curves of the Thunderbird IV
Yeah, it's so hard to find a tuner when you need one. If only there were tons of free smartphone tuner apps and $10 clip-on headstock tuners.
elektra guitars had swapable pickups back in the 70's.
