Inspired by Gibson
The Epiphone 1964 Thunderbird in Ember Red pays homage to the iconic design of the Thunderbird Bass, originally designed by Ray Dietrich. With its nine-ply neck-through-body construction, this bass exudes vintage charm and offers exceptional sustain. Equipped with two powerful ProBucker 760 Bass humbucker pickups and CTS potentiometers, it delivers deep, rich tones reminiscent of classic Thunderbird basses. Modern upgrades like a Graph Tech nut and Clover-button tuners ensure reliable performance while retaining its vintage appeal. Adorned with the iconic Thunderbird logo on the pickguard, and packaged in a premium gig bag, the Thunderbird ’64 offers the look, feel, and tone of a vintage Thunderbird at a more accessible price point.
At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Epiphone 1964 Thunderbird is a perfect blend of vintage vibe and modern playability.
