A Thunderbird had always been on my wish list, I got this one recently when it came up for sale locally. The sound is huge but I just can't get fully comfortable with the ergonomics. According to Mr. John Diggins, less than 10 of these were produced so somewhat rare. I believe the year of production was '84. Mahogany body & neck, Ebony fingerboard. Schaller tuners.

When I got this, the bridge was in a bad way, the screws had seized up making adjustments difficult, the bridge was sent to Jaydee and they refurbished it, adding one of the securing screws that was missing which was matched to the others for the correct aesthetic. It's fully operational now. The truss rod turns both ways without issue.

It's a great instrument that has been clearly played a lot. It's a relic...full of light scratches, scrapes and dings (difficult to photograph due to the black finish), nothing significant and no neck break!

I don't have a case for it but I have plenty of bubble wrap and a suitable box for shipping.

UK shipping will be £30 but collection from Cardiff much preferred.

I'll consider trades, a Jaydee Roadie would be ideal or a Stingray.
