Cleaning, string replacement, rod adjustment, octave adjustment, string height adjustment, rubbing, nut replacement, ironing, and bridge stud fixing have been completed. The guitar has been maintained by a specialized department since its arrival. The guitar has a few scratches and dings from playing, but it is still in good condition. It is equipped with two Gibson USA pickups and features a three-point bridge. It is constructed with a mahogany body, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard. I can't stress any more that just because it looks similar to a Gibson Thunderbird, it isn't a Gibson Thunderbird, even if you put a Gibson truss-rod cover on it.Orville's Thunder Bird, which can be called a Japanese-made Gibson and boasts high popularity in Japan and abroad, is now in stock in used condition. In every personal review I've seen, it seems that the glowing reports are more down to people being of the belief that they're getting a lot of bass for less £££, rather than the fact the Epiphone is simply a transitional model en-route to a Gibson or because they couldn't afford a Gibson. I would just say in closing, EVERYONE please stop comparing Epiphones with Gibsons. It felt heavier than any of my Thunderbirds were. I'll admit the chamfer around the body was a bit rounder and more comfortable to that of the regular IVs, so a little more easier on the right forearm. While the bridge looks way more functional that the four string three-pointer, it looks pretty horrific it's a huge slab of chromed brass/steel and I always felt they could have done something better/sleeker. Pickups are just standard 2000s TB ceramic HB soaps, no different from the standard IVs. You lose the raised centre strip on the front of the body and the pickups, knobbage and bridge are simply loaded onto a slab body. Couldn't tell you what the wood was (probably mahogany) or what the neck contruction is/was. Neck profile was somewhat chunkier than a regular IV (it's like comparing a wider Precision neck with a four string Jazz neck). (My Lull has a reversed 1&4 configuration B on top and E-G on the bottom Gibson could have gone with the Reverse headstock and done a 4&1, which may have looked better.) You lose the traditional headstock design (with the raised frontage) and IMO the extra machine just looks odd, that said I always felt the Thunderbird wouldn't translate into a five string so I don't know what they could have done to improve the clumsiness of the (Studio 5) design. ![]() Personally, I don't really like them visually. Bare in mind this is a more of a no-frills Studio model rather than a five string IV. I've never owned one, but I've played a couple quite extensively and I've owned about a dozen regular IVs. ![]()
