NAMM update from Chris (Embassy and Tbird content)

[TBird1958]

Well, they are finally shipping from Sweetwater today, so mine is about a week or so out right now. Just curious if anyone here has info on a European release schedule.

That's pretty cool.  If only they were making a II.

Time will tell!  I'd love that, I'll take one each in Pelham Blue and Inverness Green please.

AMS got their first load, but mine wasn't shipped. And so I wait...

[Dave W]

I can't see them making a II. Demand seems to be high, they'll run with what's successful.

[slinkp]

Yep. If the flyguitars site is correct, Gibson hasn't made a reverse-body II since 1965.  They sold only a few hundred of them fifty years ago. So why would Epiphone expect to sell many IIs today? 

[FrankieTbird]

I highly doubt they'll make a T-bird II, at least not in my lifetime.  I just wish they would.

Gibson did make a few reverse II's in the early '80s, ask Uwe.

[slinkp]

Early 80s?  Wacky!  With which pickups? ... 76ers?   

[doombass]

Yes, and look no further than this very forum of course.

Must be the chrome, right?

Must be the chrome, right?

The single pick up too, Thunderbird II's are the SEX BOMB! 

[Dave W]

I'm a sucker for neck pickups only too.
