Epiphone Thunderbird '64 Ember Red Incl. Premium Gig Bag

What comes to mind when you hear Thunderbird™ Bass? Maybe it’s the unmistakable body shape, crafted by legendary automotive designer Ray Dietrich. Or perhaps it’s the thunderous tone, sustained by nine-ply neck-through-body construction and driven by dual ProBucker™ 760 Bass humbuckers. From its roaring low end to its custom color finishes inspired by classic cars, the Thunderbird is a true original.

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the iconic Gibson® Thunderbird, Epiphone proudly introduces the Thunderbird ’64. Faithful to the vintage T-Birds of the mid-60s, this reissue captures everything that made them legendary—right down to the hot-stamped Thunderbird logo on the three-ply pickguard.

Pull it from the included premium gig bag, plug in, and let the tone speak for itself. The ProBucker pickups deliver deep, articulate bass tones, while CTS® potentiometers ensure smooth, responsive control. A modern Graph Tech® nut and 19:1 ratio Clover-button tuners provide improved tuning stability—an invisible upgrade that lets the vintage vibe shine through.

Finished in stunning Ember Red, the Thunderbird ’64 brings the soul of a vintage classic into the hands of today’s player—without the collector’s price tag.

This guitar comes fully set up by Guitars On Main, a service we normally value at $75, ensuring optimal playability right out of the box.
