1964 Gibson Thunderbird IV – Sunburst

Well Strung Guitars

Description

This 1964 Gibson Thunderbird IV in Sunburst finish has held up remarkably well after six decades! The finish shows some light edgewear and checking, but still retains a beautiful luster. Playability on this piece is easy and comfortable, with a nicely tapered neck profile and frets that still have a lot of life left in them. These pickups are revered for their sound and low-end thump, and this piece lives up to that reputation. Aside from a professionally installed bone nut, this bass is original and retains its original hardshell case!


Overall Condition: 9, edgewear, light playwear, minor patina
