Epiphone is a guitar brand with a long history.
Currently positioned as Gibson's budget brand, it still has many fans due to its high quality.
This is a vintage replica that faithfully reproduces the specifications of the Thunderbird, which first appeared in 1963.
It reproduces the distinctive look of the chrome covered humbucker, TOM bridge, and CLAW tailpiece.
Its distinctive sound is characterized by a loud low end packed with rich overtones.
Due to its narrow range, the strong, thick nuances are particularly pronounced.
The remaining frets are approximately 80%.
The truss rod is in good condition.
The neck condition shows slight warping on the 1st string side at the 10th fret, and when picking strongly at the 9th fret, sound blockage occurs. (When adjusted to 2.02.5mm at the 12th fret) Adjusting to 2.53.0mm at the 12th fret significantly improves the issue.
The body and finish show multiple scratch marks. Additionally, there is some discoloration on the metal parts.
The electronics are in good condition.
No obvious modifications were noted.
