    I really can't say much more than some of the rumors are true. Exciting Thunderbird news coming in 2021. I will post more when I get the go ahead. That is all

What rumors? Could you tell us some of them and we can guess at the true ones until you verify them?
Custom colors? New pickups? Another NR run?  ???
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

I would buy an NR if it had a thinner body and neck. I was so disappointed when I received the blue NR that I sold my Bach NR to make room for. the Bach was so much more to my liking.

Considering the popularity of the Epi TB Pro, I can imagine where this thread is going.

My thoughts too.

Let's just hope they don't do anything crazy like putting P/J pickups in.

Not a Gibson expert but if Mark Agnesi was involved like in the Les Paul and SG guitar lines, then my guess would also be something like the Epi TB Vintage Pro.

Can I assume no left-handed models of said forthcoming mystery basses?
