Overview

Mega sustain and updated pickups in a commanding package.

The Gibson 2015 Thunderbird Electric Bass Guitar offers what most bassists crave: incredible style and sustain. The 9-ply multi-laminate neck goes right through to the bridge, letting notes ring uniterrupted by neck joints and shims. Electronics benefit from Gibson's new Alnico V pickups that offer humless performance and coil-tapping switches for expanded tones to match any musical genre. This Thunderbird features all of the 2015 updates including an improved bridge and smoother fingerboard. Comes with hardshell case.

All 2015 Gibson models benefit from some important upgrades:
G-Force on all guitars except LP Supreme, Firebird and Derek Trucks SG
Zero Fret Nut- Patent applied for nut with adjustable action
New wider neck and fingerboard (.050 per side) for increased playing comfort
New tune-o-matic bridge featuring hex wrench adjustment on thumbscrews for easy action adjustments
Professional set up-Accurate intonation, new PLEK program, 27% lower fret wire
Smoother sanded/buffed fingerboard with new oil treatment
One piece thicker rosewood fingerboard
Pearl inlays return on all product
More robust cables change from 28 awg to 26 awg for improved signal
New improved jack design for uninterrupted signal
No Satin or Vintage Gloss finishes : All sku's will be gloss lacquer
New removable LP pick guard with no screws needed
In honor of Les Paul's 100th birthday all LP and SG guitars will carry the 100 logo on the headstock
Les Paul Hologram-For authenticity and a tribute to the man
Hardshell case on all models
