Alembic
BaCH
B.C. Rich
Benavente
Brice
Edwards
ESP
Fernandez (this is a copy of a copy; Nikki Sixx's Spector Bird)
GMP
Gould
Greco
Hamer
Hotwire

Jackson
JB
(the one they should have built)
Lakland
Sessions

I'm sure there are more, but these pics are what I have at the moment.

I had no idea that there have been so many. It's not something I ever paid close attention to, but it just goes to show that the body shape is more desirable than some people would have you think.

Stavem.
(Built for Bent Saether from Motorpsycho)
Mike Lull.
Until recently BaCH used to make Reverse (normal) Thunderbirds too. With Ibanez shaped headstock. Found this pic of a 5 string TB on an Italian site of a BaCH reseller.

Sheldon Dingwall has toyed with the idea of doing a fanfret T-Bird. I would raid my savings for that.

So would I. The slanted frets are in harmony with the Rev body angles.

Wow, I had no idea so many companies had made T-birds! And Mark, there was a St. George like that one on eBay for a few weeks not too long ago; looked almost exactly like that one!

The headstock is as important as the body in my book.
If it doesn't have the Classic headstock, it doesn't rate.
My lefty Tokai is a beaut! a Lawsuit perfect ho!
