Gibson drop the traditional 3 point bridge

About bloody time! I HATE that bridge; part of the reason I'll be selling my epi t-bird at some point. Until looking just now, didn't realise how much had been change on the 2015 thunderbird. Like the new bridge, and the change of pickups is interesting. Even though I've just said I'll be selling my thunderbird, I'd be interested in getting one of these - if the price wasn't so high! Also, am I missing something with the switches? You have a volume control for each pickup, then the switches that activate/de-activate each pickup. How pointless is that?! It's adding an extra feature for the sake of it.

They're coil split switches, not on/off.

Thanks man. Damn it, now 'm even more interested

I know this is an old thread, but for 2016 Gibson seem to be dropping the Babicz and EB pickups/wiring and going back to pre-2015 specifications.

Didn't work instantly, massive huff, history repeating itself again and again. Time for me to hibernate then.

Shows you a lot when they realise more guitars for 2016 and NO basses... I do hate the 3-point bridges. Possibly going off Gibsons now and moving over to Lakland or Warwicks
