New Epiphone Thunderbird video
slinkp:
Fascinating video, thanks for posting that Dave.

Kind of odd that the video covers pretty much all of the guitar construction phases - in two different factories - with the exception of the pickups. Unless I missed something, the only place you see them addressed is on that big board - which I assume is a legend or key for the parts bins.

If their pickups are being produced at a new factory dedicated to pickup production (per the press release above) then they aren't being made at this factory.

The Vintage Pro has Epiphone ProBucker™ Bass #760 Humbuckers. Which look (and probably are) exactly the same as the Hong Kong buckers from EYguitarmusic.
The Classic Pro indeed has Gibson TB Plus™ humbuckers

I'm hoping one if you early adopters will compare the pickups so I know which way to jump.
Vintage or Classic or 2nd hand Orville/Elitist/Greco.

Me too, if he promises he will be gentle to the dark side of hardware... :P
