Made in the USA in 2006, the Thunderbird Studio was a more cost effective option to give the look, feel and (most importantly) sound of a Thunderbird bass without the price tag. Good used conditon as pictured with light wear from general use and some mild sticker tan on the back, received a full professional setup prior to listing. The neck is straight and the truss adjusts perfectly, the frets have plenty of life and there's no breaks or repairs. Weighs 4.1kg's.

The Gibson Thunderbird bass debuted in 1963 with the original Firebird guitar series. The most highly respected of all Gibson basses, the Thunderbird was reissued in 1987 with original reverse body styling and new, special-design pickups. The Thunderbird Studio brings together the original 1963 "reverse body" Firebird shape with Gibson's traditional, proven "set neck" design. The result is an unbeatable combination of style, performance and affordability.
