The link takes me to the Gibson page where I still see the Thunderbird. Is there an article there somewhere?

No, but that IS the "Out of Production" page.  If you go to the basses page all the basses are shown.  Click the 'out of production' tab and that's what comes up.  Somebody had to put the Reverse with other out of production basses.

Strange way to run a website if it's not.  Helluva way to support USA production if it is.

Oh, okay, I missed that it was the "Out of Production" page. I went to the normal bass page and the T-bird is still listed there, as well as the Grabber 3 and Les Paul Oversize bass, which are listed on the OoP page as well. What the heck?

All of the out of production basses are on the "normal" page, and the Thunderbirds are also catorgized as "Limited Runs".

Oh, I'm so disappointed for you guys!!! For a moment I thought this might be the dawning of the age of a chrome-equipped TBird ...




I come in peace!!!

Does "Out of Production" mean the same as "Discontinued" ?   I was told by a dealer that Gibson tends to build Thunderbirds in batches based on sales/orders, and that they sometimes take a break for a while until they get "X" numbers of orders for them.

I was thinking exactly the Gibson strategy as Uwe mentioned. Pull the TB's for a while. Let the new non reverse TB's take effect, while they concoct some of the new 'super 2013 Chrome' and then ....
Actually what I was really worried about was that they'd alredy discontinued the GB-3 before I could get my hands on one. Their Bass pages are all mixed up.

 Well, I do think the Thunderbird could use a rework - It's basically unchanged since '88, the new Epi is likely a driving force here.
