...into playing bass to find Epiphone did a version for around £300 so naturally I had to get one! The problem was that in that time my attitude had changed from just wanting to have a cool looking guitar to wanting one that was practical and comfortable for playing gigs, because of this the Thunderbird experience was a bit of a disappointment. It still looked as good, the dark stained wooden body, black neck and headstock and the Thunderbird logo on ... ...looked. It sounded good with nice solid, chunky tones ideal for heavy rock or metal but unfortunately it 's a bit of an awkward b'stard to play!
