Damn, Mark!!  Those are fantastic cuts! You get a fantastic sound out of that T-bird, and the whole band sounds great.

HoG has no idea when the NRs may show up. Could be this month, could be 6 months.

And they do come with hardshell cases. :)

I just got a look at the new NR's on TB. I'm a little disappointed. I had my fingers crossed for chrome hardware and chrome pickups. Eh, I'll continue stalking ebay for BaCHbirds. I'm still pretty excited about the new Epiphone Thunderbirds!  ;D

The funniest thing about it is the strap button still on the upper horn. Everyone has known since the 1960s that's a bad idea on Thunderbirds of any kind!

Different hardware, electronics and fretboard, but original strap button location. Gibson's idea of authenticity in basses.  :P

Ahhhh! the penny dropped as I was getting into bed last night. Gibson are using Baked maple for fingerboards because they dont have enough Rosewood due to the lawsuit. Strange days....... ???
