Gibson Thunderbird Bass Guitar Ebony Item in very good condition. Minor signs of use (small scratches or marks) The Gibson Thunderbird boasts an iconic reverse body and headstock design, originating in 1963 as Gibson’s inaugural neck-through-body bass model. Crafted with a traditional 9-ply mahogany​/​walnut neck-through construction, it resonates with a powerful low end and sustains like a piano. The sleek narrow nut width and rounded neck profile ensure a swift and natural feel. With high-output ceramic magnet-loaded humbucking pickups in the neck and bridge positions, the Thunderbird delivers the renowned thunderous low end sound it’s celebrated for.
