Description
Introducing the Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro AW, a flawless reproduction of the iconic electric bass that has powered countless hits since 1963. This instrument doesn't merely mimic the original; it revives its spirit, blending vintage style with modern innovation.
The Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro AW boasts the same profile as the original models, featuring a 7-ply Mahogany and Walnut neck complimented by Mahogany body wings. This stunning instrument carries a through-neck joint, giving it that classic Thunderbird look. The neck, with a 1960s style rounded profile, a 34" scale, a 12" radius, and 20 medium jumbo frets, allows for comfortable playing and a smooth, warm tone.
The heart of this bass is the new ProBucker #760 Bass Pickups, meticulously crafted to match the attention to detail found in ProBucker and P-90 PRO guitar pickups. Inspired by the original 60s' Thunderbird pickups, the ProBucker 760s feature 18% Nickel Silver Covers, German manufactured Elektrisola Magnet wire, Alnico IV sand cast magnets, and braided coaxial lead wire, vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonics.
Available in Alpine White, Ebony, and Tobacco Sunburst, the Epiphone Thunderbird Vintage Pro AW is sure to turn heads at your next gig or jam session.
