Gibson Nikki Sixx Thunderbird

[NancyJohnson]

Had a very quick perusal if the Ishibashi site this morning and for all you T-Bird fans out there, Gibson have issued a new Nikki Sixx 'Black Cherry' signature edition.

There's three models up...all look a little different from each other finish-wise...everything else looks the same. Red XX markers on the neck, different scratchplates to the usual Thunderbirds (with the same XX insignia and a signature). Needless to say, nothing on the Gibson site for us to drool over (I fail to see how, in this day and age, a company like Gibson can issue a new model and not even update theis sh*tty site).

I see Nikki's gone upmarket with his controls since the Blackbird-
2 vol and an on/off switch?

Unbelievable since Sixx is Gibsons most popular Rock bassist. I think he's probably shifted more Epiphone T-Birds alone than the marketing department.
Lovely looking bass, shame about the inlays though, bit tasteless for my liking - should've gone for something more traditional or symmetrical
