Body & Neck

The classic neck-through-body is a consistent design feature for the Thunderbird, providing incredible access to upper frets. It’s made of a stunningly smooth nine-ply Mahogany and Walnut mix. Because these woods are extremely dense, it holds supremely solid tuning stability.

On top is a classic Rosewood fretboard with a rounded profile, making it effortless to play. Embedded are 20 beautifully treated frets that provide longevity and less susceptibility to wear and rust.

Sound

It may look like a vintage bass but it’s anything but retro in tone. The pair of high-output T-Bird pickups sound huge. There’s a reason past models have been popular in rock and metal, and this continues the trend.

It’s not all high-octane though. You can subtly tweak output with its two independent volume knobs and a master tone. Dial it down and you’ll get crisp cleans.

Hardware

The 3-point adjustable bridge is comfortable for the picking hand and delivers excellent sound transfer through the body. Its Graph Tech nut and Grover tuners combo cuts out tuning problems and string friction.
