It's all under the lacquer mate.

I don't like the idea of drilling new holes. Anyway mine arrived Monday and is waiting to go back. How Epi's QC and even worse the person who lacquered over it didn't see it is beyond me.

I agree about the Wilkinson tuners. What model number are the Gotoh's mate, I might consider doing the same if the holes match up.

Sorry mate, I already have one, (complete with cheeky Gibson TRC too) yours shouldn't hang around long as it's a bargain with a case included.

I'll be eating those words tomorrow!

Mate you've seen nothing yet lol

Buckethead. Pike 37. Hollowed Out. The bloke is immense!

He's a T-wat! and his band are woeful!

Swearing in songs doesn't usually bother me, but there's, three songs (album versions) in which it just doesn't sit right. Stiff Little Fingers - The Price of Admission (f***ed), Radiohead - Creep and James Blunt's - You're Beautiful (f***ing)

Asking £20.00 tells me he knows fine well it's not what he's advertising it as. If I hadn't known better I could've got caught by out one of these types about ten years back when I was after a Rickenbacker 4001, foolishly I'd not looked that closely at the listing photo's, but luckily it was a collection only, when I turned up and got the immaculate looking thing out of it's case only to find it had a bolt on neck and cheap looking machine heads, I told him it wasn't the genuine thing and he insisted it was and that he'd bought it in London in 1974.

In defence of Epiphone's mate, I bought the Classic Pro Thunderbird in 2012 and TBH it plays as well as the Gibson equivalent I tried at the same time, the gibson certainly wasn't worth £700 odd quid more, to me anyway.

Looking forward to seeing it

It'd be Ebony all the way for me if I was gonna get one. If they were an off-White like the Gibson's that'd be a different story.

Ah yes, I forgot you'd said that earlier. anyway cheers for your replies.

What did you do about the stock Bushings?

Cheers Thunderbird, I had a feeling that would be the answer.

Same as yours mate the Classic Pro IV

Just ordered the Babicz three point replacement for my Thunderbird. My question is. Does it need the shim plate or not? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Yeah I have a Classic Pro which I've been modding with Chrome Hipshot parts, (Bridge and Machine Heads) I put it on hold when these new ones finally started appearing, but now I'll just carry on where I left off with my CP.

Well I for one will not be paying £600.

Both Andertons & Gear4Music have recently upped the price of these new Thunderbirds by £100.

I want a Black one but the car is slowly going tits up and getting in the way of any purchases in the near future Will the deteriorating situation at Gibson affect the availability in the future, or is Epiphone a stand alone company again these days?

Clean, as in it's straight up sound, no effects.

Any of you new vintage pro owners fancy uploading a nice clean sound clip or two?
